My uncle asks if i can make pc faster, i found this link but id like a second opinion because this is running on a 150w power supply and i never dealt with intel before.

Here is the machine they have

I just need to double check, This is the correct pc and any of the cpu's provided on that list will work ?

The motherboard has an LGA1155 socket so it looks like you can replace the CPU.

The TDP of the existing chip is 65W and a 3.1GHz clock, so keep that in mind when looking at the replacements.

be wary of any of the 95W CPUs on that list- the form factor of your PC will be limited in its ability to dissipate heat.
