Asked 5 years ago by branden.

• A:Answer NO, the GA-990FXA-UD3 mother board is an AM3 socket, you will need to look for a MB with a LGA1151 socket. And the RAM depends on the MB compatibility.

Q: QuestionHow good of an upgrade is this from a core i5-6000.

Asked 5 years ago by bait.

• A:Answer When it comes to processors, it can be often hard to decipher the string of numbers that distinguish them. Generally, though, the higher the number, the more powerful the chips are. Core i9s are more powerful than Core i7s, which are more powerful than Core i5s. Simple enough.

Q: QuestionWill it work with a ASROCK B360M IB-R1 mom motherboard?

Asked 5 years ago by Max.

• A:Answer Hi Max, I suggest contacting IBuyPower as that is a OEM motherboard made for them. As it is part of the B360M family It should have the same LGA 1151 socket and 300 series chipset and work with the Intel Core i7-9700F processor. Thank you for choosing Intel

Q: QuestionI am new to Pc gaming and got a MSI z390 pro carbon ac is this compatible with that mobo?

Asked 5 years ago by Jeremih.

• A:Answer It doesn't look like it will be. Something comparable, to this cpu that's compatible would be the Intel Core i7-9700K. I reccomend this site: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/MSI-MPG-Z390-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC-MS-7B17/101504 For more compatibility questions

Q: Questionis this all I would have to buy to game?

Asked 5 years ago by Cool.

• A:Answer Technically yes, you could play games with just the CPU but I personally would highly recommend you get a GPU along with it since the CPU can only handle so much strain by itself

  I would recommend:
