I have a H-Cupertino3-H61-uA TX (Cupertino3) motherboard and right now I'm running a dual core g860 3ghz, but I'd like to upgrade to a quad core i5. What is the best i5 version I can get without buying a new motherboard?
Just remember, As you have an OEM system (HP, Dell, etc) If you change the Motherboard, you'll need a new OS, OEM's tie the motherboard to the motherboard, a new, different mobo is considered a new system & the OS will not run.

Yeah i was about to answer him with the same thing, the i5 4670k and a new mobo but its a big jump, and its expensive to upgrade without knowing his specs...
Thanks for your replies guys. I've decided to go with the cheaper Intel Core i3-3240. It's not quite an i5 but it's still alot better than my current g860

why did you decide to go with the i3?
Pretty much the same reason this guy wanted to go with the i3 (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/354290-28-core-3240-core-3470-gaming) , but from reading the responses I have decided to go with i5 instead.
