Basically, I have a motherboard which is says MS-7768 on it and I couldn't find any other trace of a name on it, It currently has an AMD E-450 brazos dual core processor in it and I was looking to upgrade the processor along with the new graphics card i'm getting (AMD Radeon HD 7750) so i was looking for a processor to upgrade to, but I don't know if I can as it is a notebook APU in a desktop, any recommendations to upgrade to if I can and what is the best processor I can upgrade to if I can?

all help is greatly appreciated
thanks.

Your processor,like most low-voltage CPUs, are soldered directly to the motherboard, rather than socketed. That means that you cannot upgrade the processor.
And the GPU part,are you sure you have a PCI-E slot? Because I couldn't find a motherboard,which should be FT1 BGA 413 socket and with your CPU soldered.But I could find a Gigabyte board that was FT1 BGA Socket,with of course the PCI-E slot.But it had an E350 APU soldered onto it.

Well...crap, that means I'll just go for the GPU and upgrade my MOBO at a later date.

Yes,i'm certain there is as when I was upgrading the RAM i noticed a free PCI-E port on the MOBO and as the card is backward compatible, thanks for your answer.

Okay...Just for seeing the motherboard,I'm asking you.You didn't see anything other than that number you first said? Nothing of a brand name at all? Or some chipset model or something to trace the mobo with that? I know I may sound stupid...But....Curiosity bro... :)
