  • Your motherboard is on H61 Express Chipset.
  • List of compatible CPUs with your motherboard.
  • Highest compatible generation working with your motherboard is Ivy Bridge (3rd generation).

I would choose between i7 3770 or i5 3570 it depends if you need more threads.

    If you are thinking about gaming I would go with i5 because GPU is more important for gaming than i5 - i7 difference. – ivaan Mar 2 '16 at 8:43
