Okey dokey dude, I'm a technician for a computer store and here's the drum;
Your motherboard's chipset is socket LGA1155, meaning only 2nd & 3rd gen cpus will work, let alone fit. try and get yourself a variant (they may have letter like K,S, or P, you don't need to worry about them, as you don't have the option of being picky) of the following chips:
i5-2400, i5-2500, i5-3470, i5-3550, i5-3570, i7-2600, i7-2700, or i7-3770
I doubt you'll find one without looking in the pre-loved market. Be sure to see a CPU-Z of it running before you buy 2nd hand, or you may be falling for a ruse.
If you can't find any of those chips, try and get a 4th or 5th gen cpu and board because stores are looking to ditch those to sell 6th gen.

Hello guys,
I want to upgrade my pentium g2020 (I know, shitty...) to a better processor. Im on a 200 dollar budget. I want you guys to give me processor recomendations. It will run alongside my EVGA gtx 750 (non Ti or OC version). Im planning on playing rainbow six siege (right now I can play the beta on 40-30 fps). Thanks for your help. Remember, im in a 200 dollar budget.
