Read a processor specification
Start with the platform, then the workload. Socket and memory support narrow a build; cores, clocks and cache describe different aspects of a processor and cannot be reduced to a gaming score.
Before choosing parts
- Confirm the exact CPU in the motherboard support list and its minimum BIOS.
- Separate processor power specifications from a complete system PSU requirement.
- Keep cooler mounting support and case clearance as separate checks.
