Hello i need to ask where to find a older Cpu for a MB Asus H81M-K that has 8gbs of ddr3 1600 ram 2X4gb sticks ? Right now it has a Intel G3258 3.2 Cpu and Was told to Upgrade it to a Intel I5 cpu but dont know where to Look for a Used one ? Ebay or ? It has a 650 power supply with a Gtx 770 2gb and a 240 SSD and 1 terabyte HD Blue Western digital and Windows 10 64bit . Any help or Links to a Better Cpu would be good Todays Newer Intel Cpus cost too much. This is for Gaming like Overwatch Rainbow 6 siege,Mechwarrior online Gta 5. Thanks will wait for a good Info !

Pick the one you want and check to see if it is on ASUS mobo CPU support list. If yes, then it will work.

Since you currently use G3258, your bios on mobo probably at least version 0805. Here is all CPU that your mobo support. Your mobo even support some Xeon CPU also.

Go here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H81MK/HelpDesk_CPU/ to fine the CPUs that the board supports, then go to eBay to find the CPU you want (as an example: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l2632.R2.TR8.TRC2.A0.H1.Xi5-44.TRS0&_nkw=i5+4460&_sacat=175673)
