can I replace the I 5 6400T processor with an I-3 7350K? LGA 1151 I don't have any experience replacing processors, please advise
 
Solution
You should be able to swap the processors, since FCLGA1151 is pretty much the same thing as LGA 1151. Just look up a guide on youtube about how to install an Intel CPU and a 5 minute youtube video will give you visual examples of how to do it. No worries about compatibility.

That being said it's not much of an upgrade. I'd say the only reasonable upgrade for 7th gen is up to i7 7700k, and minimum i5 7600k. That i3 isn't THAT much better than your current i5.

slow is subjectives...I'm also still using I5-6400T with bootdrive 850 Evo SSD, GPU-MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 6GB with 12 GB DDR4 2133 RAM....for me its decent configuration for light gamer...BF4 BF1 FIFA 17 FIFA 18 Dota 2 all able to auto-optimized to Ultra settings...able to play 8K youtube video smoothly...with 100Mbps internet speed.

i plan to upgrade to i5-7600K(which already bought but lost) minimum or max I7-7700k...

*eBay GSP lost my processor during transit so i'm still stuck with this processor...but definitely not upgrade to your said CPU.
