Just looking around for a half decent CPU to stick on an older MoBo I have lying around that I thought I would resurrect in to a new computer.
Its got 16GB RAM sitting on it, so thought I might as well get something decent - but don't care enough to buy a new one.
So minimum of an i5 please, don't care if you have a cooler or not. Don't even care about clock speed really - in reality it's just going to be another desktop to use for browsing, bit of coding, etc. But I might load a hypervisor eventually too so just want a few cores for the exta grunt needed there hence not wanting to go dual core (although it would probably cope OK i guess)
Cheapest I've seen on Pricespy is an i5 7400 3.0GHz for $254. Would be really good to pick something up sub-$200 - or maybe I'm undervaluing.
Let me know what you have!
