I found a budget-friendly CPU suitable for a 1150 socket. Since you don’t need integrated graphics and have an existing graphics card, look for a dedicated processor with good performance at a low price.

Yes, I'm familiar with the chipset it has.

No need to replace the CPU unless it was removed for another system. Are you looking to upgrade it, or is the machine malfunctioning and you suspect the issue is with the processor? As @Slottr mentioned, we should clarify the chipset details and the MMO model.

The processor was removed for a different machine; it originally contained an i7 4770 before. The chipset is Intel Q87 Express, and the motherboard is a Dell OptiX 7020.

The 4770 is no longer included, which means it doesn't come with a CPU.

Yes, it works without the CPU.

I thought it might be an office box because the motherboard isn't usable elsewhere. I discovered a page from Intel titled "4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® Q87 Chipset (Formerly Shark Bay Desktop)." My guess is any CPU listed should work, but please confirm if I'm incorrect.

I recommend checking eBay for options that match your chipset at the lowest cost. Possibilities include an i3-4330 or a Pentium G3420.

Sure, I'm checking out the G3420 and it seems like a good choice for me.

The most affordable processor available is a Celeron G1820, though it may not be very useful. An i3 4130 costs about $20-25 and works well for everyday tasks. Be cautious of T or S chips—they offer lower performance and slightly reduced speed. These tend to run slower, but an S i5 or i7 will have a more constrained turbo boost. The i7 running on Haswell still has a high tax rate, yet a locked i5 remains a solid choice with four cores and four threads, suitable for daily use and light games. An i5 4590 can often be found for around $40 if you search diligently on eBay; I purchased one paired with an RX580, which performed adequately.
