Your CPU has the most impact on your PC's performance and is arguably the most essential component in your computer (along with the graphics card if you're a gamer). It's a good time to snag a deal on a new processor if you're thinking of upgrading your PC or building a new one (perhaps one of the best PC builds). 

There are some great CPU deals on both AMD and Intel processors, so we're rounding up the hottest sales from those on low-end chips to high-end, multi-core productivity beasts like those on our best CPUs page or high atop our CPU benchmarks hierarchy. We're also tracking the current and historic low prices for all current and prior-gen chips on our CPU price index.

    Back in October, Newegg had the lowest-ever price on the i5-12600, for $215. Then, it jumped back up to $240, before I had noticed the dip. I'm holding out to see if it matches or beats that all-time low, on Friday or Monday.
    https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HqXJ7P/intel-core-i5-12600-33-ghz-6-core-processor-bx8071512600
    Why that model? Well, it's non-hybrid, so Win 10 should have no issues on it. More importantly, it's more efficient than the bigger dies, and I'm trying to build a box that won't heat up my home office, over the summer. So, I'm aiming for low idle power and 65 W TDP. I'm planning on using just its iGPU for graphics.

    This article needs some motherboard recommendations.

    What is the rightly balanced board for each chip for the price sensitive buyer ?
