https://community.intel.com/t5/GPU-Compute-Software/CPU/m-p/1747777#M2356 <P>Hello Intel community,</P><P>I recently started ordering parts for my first desktop PC build and my first purchase was the MSI Z490 EDGE GAMING WIFI motherboard. Even though I’m not a gamer, I was impressed by the board's features, specifications, and overall value.</P><P>I plan to use this PC mainly for CAD, coding, programming, video editing, content creation, storing music/videos/photos, and managing my own personal website. My main question is: which LGA1200 CPU would you recommend for these types of workloads? Would it be better to buy a 10th Gen processor now or wait for the 11th Gen CPUs?</P><P>Also, what graphics card would you suggest for productivity and creative work rather than gaming? I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, build tips, or suggestions for a first-time builder. Thanks everyone!</P> Wed, 13 May 2026 09:30:07 GMT Suzzu 2026-05-13T09:30:07Z https://community.intel.com/t5/GPU-Compute-Software/CPU/m-p/1747777#M2356 <P>Hello Intel community,</P><P>I recently started ordering parts for my first desktop PC build and my first purchase was the MSI Z490 EDGE GAMING WIFI motherboard.
