Three steps:
1. Determine what CPU you find best for your purpose. https://www.google.com/search?q=best+gaming+CPU seems a good start for your research.
2. Find a trusted shop that sells it.
3. Buy it.

Remember that you need more than a CPU. Things like a motherboard, RAM and a graphic card matter also. Moreover, the CPU must be supported by the motherboard.

Most people, by the way, don’t need the “best”. They need one that’s good enough and offers best value for money. Or even, they buy the best they can pay for, even if it only ranks 10 in stead of 1.
For example, would you buy CPU A, if it’s 5% better, but costs 25% more than CPU B? Or would you use the difference to buy a better graphic card?

And why do you post this in the Software forum? CPU’s are hardware.

Which game?

I went far out last time as there was a laptop with the Core i9, RTX 3070 and 32GB RAM. It seems to run every triple A title easily but heck, my oldest laptop with a Core2Duo which has 64 bit Windows 10 runs DOOM just fine.

Which game is your goal here?
