Does my pc support this processor?

[Dale Waldron]

Hello, i've got a acer aspire x5400 pc and i would like to know if i could upgrade it so i can go play pc games

Need to know what motherboard it has then check to see if it will support a better CPU. Seems it has an AM2+ Socket and will support up to a Phenom II x 4. BUT you are more likely to improve gaming performance if you spend as much as you can on a Graphics card. Check your Windows Experience Index ( Start, Rt click 'Computer', Properties, then click on 'Windows Experience Index' to see a breakdown of the components. The lowest value = the index and will probably be Gaming graphics...)

we need to know what you already have, x5400 is generic series name, nothing specific we can extract from the information you've given

run something like Speccy that should tell us everything that we need to know
