So I am thinking of changing just the cpu on my build tomorrow. I am upgrading from a Pentium g3258 to a i5 4690k. I am keeping everything else on the build the same. I was wondering if there was anything that I needed to know in order to do this (as this is my first time swapping cpus). Is there going to be any issue with the OS or drivers or I don't even know. Or will it be as simple as swapping the processors?

Thanks.

The i5 will run a bit hotter from having more cores, perhaps look into upgrading your air cooler. As far as bios, should auto detect the change and auto install the correct drivers. Might be a little lazy the first boot up as the system says Hey.... Wait a min........ Something is different here now.
