I have a AMD E-300 APU CPU Processor as seen in the title and I would like to know what CPU I can upgrade to. Is their a restriction on what I can upgrade to and does the motherboard have anything to do with whatever I can upgrade to? Thanks.

This will play modern games on some pretty decent settings, and is an alternative to an APU build.

Really. I searched it up and it only appears in laptops xD IDK. It says it has an ft1 socket type so I'd assume that you're mobo is that. You'd probably need to get a new mobo then if you want to upgrade you CPU. I can help you choose which mobo/cpu if you'd tell me your budget and what you'll use it for.

Yeah, that's one of those little mini towers with laptop components inside of a case to make it look like it has more power than it really does...

$450 isn't a bad little budget for a new computer, what are you looking to do with it? Why the processor upgrade anyway?

There's a compatibility issue with that, it says that the case does not have a front usb 3.0 port
