        sorry I’m being a douche

        “cpu” sometimes refers to the processor chip which goes on the motherboard

            I had one built by a computer repair place when I was in college - they did great and it had a fun case with lights

            These days I’m too far out of the loop to get good prices or anything so I bought a laptop from Acer, here is the link

            They offered a payment plan, 3 payments over 3 months with 0% interest

      I look at everything that will be necessary for a new build since I already have a computer so… If I don’t have to get a new case, great, if an adapter on my Fan can be fitted for the the new socket type… Great
