I have so far replaced my psu (500 watt) also, i changed my graphics card to an amd r7 265. I have an amd athlon x4 630, and I want to upgrade to an amd phenom x6. Any x6 will be fine with me, but will my computer support it? I have a dell Inspiron 570, and my motherboard is a Dell Inspiron 570 MT Main System AM3 DDR3 Motherboard - 4GJJT. Will I be able to upgrade to a phenom x6 processor? Also, what is the difference between the atx motherboards, and what case upgrades can i do? Thanks. :D
 
Solution
Looking at what is supported, there is a very high chance that the bios of the mobo will not support that CPU, unless someone comes up & says they've done it, I wouldn't risk it.

Thanks, I have that guide printed out and i'm looking at it right now :D. Dell's list of supported gpus didnt include the one i upgraded to, but It supported it. The Phenom x6 1100t is what I'm most likely going to want, but its not under the supported processors :(. Should I go ahead and take a risk to try installing it? Thanks
