what’s an modern day equivalent of the i7-5960x

For context recently my pc stopped working and I found out my motherboard was fried but I thought to myself is it worth buying another 12 year old x99 motherboard again and in turn decided to look for something more modern. To be honest the i7-5960x worked perfectly for me so I would like something performing somewhat on the same level. Any help would be appreciated.

edit- forgot some details I am a casual gamer and am not too fussed if it doesn’t outperform my old one but if possible keep the price around £200
Thanks.

Best revision tips for Engineering

Started my T Levels last year and wasn’t the most pleased with my exam results and want to retake. I felt like when I took my exams I was focusing completely on the wrong things. I used flash cards and different websites for revision such as gizmo but I want to do better this time. Any tips would be appreciated.

How to bypass verification

I used to have an StockX account for selling from an older cousin that I was using but can’t anymore. I went to sign up but remembered I’m under 18 and wanted to know if it would work?

Just eat £30 off

Just created my first just eat account and got this discount code but it’s not working. My sister had this phone before and said she had used just eat before but I have reset the phone since then. I’ve seen people solve the problem but it’s still not working. Any solutions or any working codes?

Is an JISA worth it at 17 or should I Invest?

Just turned 17 and realised I probably should be saving a lot more than I have. Saw a bunch of videos about savings and how much you should have and was wondering if the junior ISA is worth it and if so what’s the best type of account. Although if it’s not better what type of account should I open.

I keep getting error q code 55

Recently took apart my pc to change the orientation of my cpu for more air flow. I know it’s not plugged in. The only things I did was clean and re paste the cpu without touching the ram, now pc won’t stay on after giving q code. I’m aware of the base problems that could be affecting my pc. I’ve re-reseated my cpu and gpu. God knows how many times I’ve tried reseating my ram. And I used my pc normally this morning but it’s possible my ram isn’t good anymore, none of the pins on my mb look bent and all wires are in. I am still relatively new to pc building so go easy on me 🫩. My specs are below

X99E WS/USB3.1 Motherboard
i7-5960x cpu
MSI GTX 1660
And some random ram stick (came with mb) doesn’t seem damaged but scratches are all over I’ve taken this pc apart many times and everything stays fine.

Please help any tips would be appreciated.
