yes you can do anything but no overclock !

 

[alyoshka]

I think you had better upgrade it.......
Then you could do tons of stuff with the new Mobo, CPU and GPU... just make sure it's an upgrade and not something parallel to this.....
I only hope the upgrade is not going to be done by HP or again, you'll be asking the same question with the upgrade very soon.

Your motherboard is based on the now replaced socket 775 form factor - which limited your upgrades considerably for the CPU - they list a small selection of discontinued CPU's that were not really very good when they launched.

What do you inted using your PC for? adding a PCI-E graphics card is possible providing you dont aim to high with the model used.

I would look to replace the mobo & cpu - at the moment the LGA1156 chips are going down in price due to the recent LGA1155 launch. An i3 5** CPU and compatible motherboard / ram bundle can be had quiete cheaply in the UK making the upgrade path quite painless. The i3 5** chips (530 / 540) have integrated video also so you wont need to buy a video card right away.

So I got this bundle from Tiger Direct and just curious is that better or should I stayed with the same mobo and cpu? Can I overclock if I ever get the balls to do it . I really hope its compatible with my hardware because I was looking and I felt confident. Worst case scenario I'm building a new pc from scratch :lol:

Let me know what you think of the Bundle I got? Do you think it might work on my old PC?
