LGA 1151 CPU / Processors

CPUs and Computer Processors

Ready for a CPU Upgrade? JW stocks the latest computer processors from Intel and AMD, catering to every budget and performance need.

For office use, start with a PC featuring an Intel Core i3 14100 or AMD Ryzen 3 5300G processor. These entry-level chips are more than capable of multitasking through office software, calendars, and browsers.

Step up to an Intel Core i5-14400F or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for smooth gaming and more demanding multitasking. Both deliver excellent performance at an affordable CPU price.

For advanced tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, or 4K gaming, we recommend an Intel Core i7 14700K or Core i9 14900K, or an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X. For heavy professional workloads, the AMD Threadripper Pro 7000 series is the ultimate choice.

Some PC processors are available in “K” or “X” variants, which are unlocked for overclocking. This provides more performance for enthusiasts willing to fine-tune their systems.

Our team is here to help you choose the right processor PC at the best CPU cost without overspending.

  • Do I Need a New CPU Socket?

    Modern computer processors often require specific sockets and compatible hardware. Intel’s 12th–14th Gen CPUs use the LGA 1700 socket, while AMD Ryzen 7000 series chips use the AM5 socket. These newer platforms also support advanced features like DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, which improve bandwidth and overall performance.

    We stock a wide range of sockets and motherboards to match your PC processor, including:

    • AM4 (Ryzen 3000–5000, DDR4)
    • AM5 (Ryzen 7000, DDR5, PCIe 5.0)
    • LGA 1700 (Intel 12th–14th Gen, DDR4/DDR5, PCIe 5.0)

    When performing a CPU upgrade, always confirm socket compatibility, memory type, and PCIe support. Choosing the right combination ensures your processor PC will remain up-to-date for years to come. If you’re planning to buy a CPU in 2025, investing in DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support gives your system room to grow as software and games become more demanding.

  • Trusted CPU Brands

    At JW, we only source computer processors from the world’s leading brands: Intel and AMD.

    • AMD: Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series CPUs for desktops and Threadripper Pro 7000 for workstations.

    These ranges cover everything from entry-level systems to high-end desktop PC processors for sale.

  • Will a New CPU Improve My Computer’s Performance?

    Yes. A modern CPU computer can dramatically boost speed, reduce lag, and extend your PC’s usability.

    If you notice your games or software maxing out CPU usage, now is the time to buy a CPU. Pairing a new processor PC with a compatible motherboard upgrade can also unlock additional features like DDR5 memory support and PCIe 5.0 for GPUs and storage.
