I'm thinking about to buy Sandy Bridge Core i7 2700K/2600K/2600 processor.
Which one is more compatible?
Does it support Acer H61H2-AM V(1.1) motherboard?
Right now I'm using Pentium Duo Core G630 2.70Ghz.

My PC Specs:
Motherboard: Acer H61H2-AM V(1.1)
CPU: Intel Pentium 2 Core G630
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz

1| Prior to dropping in a new processor, make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date.
2| You can drop in any i7 so long as it's within the Sandy Bridge platform but since your're working with a H61 chipset and cannot overclock I'd suggest you stick with non-K suffixed processors thus the i7-2600. If you can find the K suffix processors for the same price as an i7-2600 then I see no reason to get the i7-2600K/2700K
3| Are you getting an aftermarket cooler or will you be using the stock cooler that comes with the i7's?

The best i7 compatible with it is the i7 2600, ( maybe the i7 3770 check for bios update ) , dont get a "K" version as that motherboard cannot overclock so you are paying for a feature you cannot use
