A:Answer Yep trying to get pre-build info is rough. This is a old but good CPU...The 13th intel gens should be coming out later ~(oct 22, 22). They us a Z790 or a modified/upgraded Z690. So I'm guessing this is a Z590 as it uses DDR4. Unfortunately upgrading CPU's is limited to form factors and socket types. MO; this is a good price for a old system, the PSU is lame, most installer's using a GeForce recommend a min of 850w. I want something with at least 1000w. One last consideration, I know this is boring. But most...not all newer CPU's require active/liquid cooling.
