I own the Alienware X51, and I want to upgrade to a new processor could someone tell me if this processor is compatible with my Alienware?

If not could you recommend one?
Here are the specs just in case:
Intel Core i3-3220 (3.3 GHz)
Roughly 6Gb ram
Windows 8 (64 bit)
NVIDIA GeFroce GTX 645

Sorry but i think it isn't going to fit man, I dont know much about PCs but the 2 brands intel and amd have different chipsets so you have to look for a intel cpu or you have to get another motherboard who does support the AMD FX series

You still can buy a good i5 with a little bit less better for the price but you still have something
