I have a few questions in regards to upgrading my HP p7-1254.
Specs- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03135882&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
1. I want to upgrade the CPU and according to the link above, the best I can upgrade it to is the A8-3850. Is this truly the case? (I would like something better and I am having trouble finding this CPU at a reasonable price so I have wondered if there is now something better that will work)
2. If this is indeed the best CPU I can go with, can I upgrade to it without upgrading my current PSU?
3. I want to get the Radeon HD 7850 GPU (I know I'll need a better PSU for this). Is it going to be a big deal for me to get a 1GB or should I get the 2GB. Can you send me link(s) to recommendations for reliability and performance?
I tried asking HP for assistance but they are very apprehensive about giving upgrade advice probably for liability reasons.
Thank you in advance for any help.
