Hey guys, so I have a ASUS A68HM-PLUS motherboard and I am soon looking to upgrade. The thing is I'm new to computers and I'm not sure if my motherboard is compatible with a Intel i7 processor. An answer will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks - Luca

Here is the list of CPUs your motherboard supports -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/A68HMPLUS/HelpDesk_CPU/
The benefit of a CPU upgrade will depend on which CPU you have now. Generally to make a meaningful upgrade you will have to replace your motherboard, CPU and RAM. Your motherboard is not compatible with an i7 and is going to limit your options.
