Does this motherboard come with a CPU and if not what is the recommended CPU for it??

The motherboard does NOT come with a CPU. If you go to the Gigabyte Website for this model, there is a link to a list of Intel CPU's that are supported. For me I used the I7-3550 3GHz Quad Core. Hope this helps.

It does not come with a CPU. Any I series processor from intel with an 1155 socket. Here are some i5 processors that will work.

It is a good starter CPU and as long as you play either older or less intensive games, it will do just fine until you need to upgrade. Alternatively, I have heard good things from Intel Processors, so it may be useful to look into some of those at the price ranges you are looking for.

This is just a quad-core AMD CPU. No video processor is built into it. You'll need a separate video card.

Yes, it comes with a heatsink that should work for normal usage. If you live in a hot area or plan to overclock the CPU you should consider getting a better heatsink though.

Do you know what model motherboard? And what other peripherals are installed? Also what size case it is going in?

It's good that you asked. From the box it says the requirements are based on a 3.2 GHz processor. I took pictures of the requirements section from the box mine came in. I'll upload them when I get to my pc.

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.

Fairly simple to install a cpu . it comes with everything you need to attach it to the fm1 motherboard . look up a tutorial on installing an amd cpu on youtube

Yes, but I'm bemused you are more interested in the sticker than the performance of this cpu!. For the record, I just 'upgraded' from my trusty FX9590 and Asus Formula Z to this 4790K and Asus Z97WS mobo which cost me £500 and has given me nothing but hassle. Check out my Amazon review 'over-hyped, over-priced and a pain in the neck'.

I bought this one - ASUSSABERTOOTH X79. Note, you will have to do a mobo update prior to using the cpu. It's super easy and can be done with a usb and clicking one button.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

Yes I recommend this PC for you, but you will need ALL of the Software to install from scratch and do the BIOS Update.

If I understand your question correctly: That would generally come with the processor, not the motherboard, but LGA2011 series processors do NOT come with heatsink/fan assemblies.

I would absolutely recommend! This CPU's 6 cores is more than capable of handling the task. Its not overkill at all. However, there is more than just the CPU in question. What Motherboard do you have? I'd recommend this CPU for your purpose if your motherboard & cpu cooler would allow for some overclocking at least. I have this CPU at 4.7GHz, thats not necessary for your task, but just to give an idea. Also to further your cause I would also recommend no less than 16GB of RAM clocked at least at 1600Mhz, but 2133MHz RAM speed would hit a home run with this CPU.

Not real good on the technical stuff, when I pull up the system page, for processor it says: Intel Pentium CPUB490 @ 2.00GHz don't know if this is what you needed or not. If it isn't, if you let me know where to find it, I'd be more then happy to check!

No the motherboard is am3 and the cpu socket is fm2 so if you already have that motherboard just look for a am3 processor(cpu)

No. More than likely motherboard not processor. But is it worth buying the motherboard instead of a new computer? Had same problem. I bought new computer.
