I'm considering upgrading my CPU from an Intel i3 8th gen in my HP Pavilion 790-0010. I'm hoping to find a decent option for modern games like Call of Duty, ideally under $250. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance!

You'll likely need to replace your motherboard too, and possibly the RAM. With your budget, I'd suggest looking at the Ryzen 5 5600(X) or the Intel Core i5 12400F. They're both solid options for gaming and should fit your needs!
A motherboard replacement? That’s good to know! Any recommendations for motherboards in the same price range?
