Bad question

Hello Intel community.

Rookie question but I would like to know how do you obtain individual processors like for example a intel i5 or i7 as I am ripping all of my old components in a old computer out. Also I live in Canada and if you refer me to a seller all the way in space then no thank you.

( Thank you for your hospitality if you do offer it. )

You can purchase processors from Newegg or Amazon or a number of different places online.

Before you "rip" out an old processor, you better check with the motherboard/system manufacturer to see what proceessors are supported by their bios.   Socket compatibility is not enough.  A processor must also be bios compatible.
