So right now i have a hp compaq 6300 pro sff with an i5 3470 in it.
Due to looking to get a new computer for gaming i was wondering since the cpu is fairly decent, can i just remove it and put into another compatible motherboard?

Thanks.
I'm not really sure at what specific mother board this is the first time i've built a pc. Do you have any suggestions for looking?

Its a hewlett-packard 339a from a hp compaq 6300 pro sff. The main reason is because the computer itself can only have a 240 watt psu due to size and i have no clue if the motherboard can use more than 240 watts. The graphics card can not draw much power from the pci slot. Although i'm planning on using a 1050ti so that wouldnt be a large problem.

Fount one on ebay for £50 pound from a reputable seller. Thanks again for all your help.
