Hi, sorry I'm not very smart at computing but I'm looking to upgrade my dual core processor into a g4560. The problem is I'm not sure that the g4560 will fit, and any research I've done just shows that it doesn't but I'm here to confirm. The cpu socket says FT4 and the original CPU is A9-9430. If I can't put a pentium into the socket, please do reccomend other CPUs that could fit. Thanks!

The description says "It's great for studying, working on essays, streaming TV on demand, and browsing the web." You can't add a GPU (it doesn't have a PCI-E slot) and the 90W PSU is too weak. If you want a gaming PC, then either build one or buy a prebuilt designed for gaming.

You obviously have an AMD motherboard that requires an AMD processor. The 25W A9-9430 is quite new, but we need to know what system you have in order to check if the CPU can be upgraded. Based on the specifications, you probably have the fastest CPU that can be installed in that prebuilt system.

Hey, thanks for the answer and insight. Here's the system, albeit it has 8GB RAM. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/lenovo-ideacentre-310s-08asr-desktop-pc-10164815-pdt.html

I'm planning to turn this into a semi decent gaming rig. Would a gt 1030 work with this system?

Thanks

The a9's are new but just slightly beefier versions of the pervious generation. They still use the weak amd fx achcitecture just the steamroller variant which still is not good and they get stomped on by the g4560 in everything but the gpu department.
