Upgrading i5 core to an 17 on h67 motherboard on the DX4860-UB33P. About a year ago, I bought this on sale, and since then added a GTX650OC MSI. There are now two things I need to finish this PC. A core, and a PSU. My first question is: Is this motherboard compatible for an upgrade? Second question: If so, what processor do you suggest, I am looking for a high gaming processor for playing BF4, ArmA3, and more. 'Bonus' question: Any suggestions for a cheapish 500w+ PSU?

-Thanks, if you could help, if not, then thanks for reading!

1) It appears that that motherboard supports the following processors:
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 processor
Intel® Core™ i5-2500 processor
Intel® Core™ i5-2400 processor
Intel® Core™ i3-2120 processor
Intel® Core™ i3-2100 processor

2) a couple good deals: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-TechBargains&cm_mmc=AFC-TechBargains-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16817139050 ($40 after rebate)
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-TechBargains&cm_mmc=AFC-TechBargains-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16817341051 ($50 after rebate...more than you need now, but may come in handy. It's modular, excellent quality, 140mm quiet fan, 5 year replacement warranty)

Do you think that the single 38a 12v rail on the psu will be enough?
