Need help with I3-530

[tommypierson]

I just purchased a new gateway with a core I3-530. I want to Upgrade to core I5-670. So here are my ????

The motherboard is a Gateway H57, Will the Motherboard accept this upgrade and other than the cpu swap will I need to change anything in BIOS?

All I do with the computer is play games. Will I see a major improvment with the I5-670.

No I added a Geforce GTX260. But won't i get better fps and better game play a chip that is a .5 ghz faster???

Sorry I'm new THE I5-670 IS THE ONE I AM LOOKING AT

Same socket but meh on it dropping right in. Look to see if you can configure your computer model with that processor

That is one of my ???? How would I see if I could configure my pc with that processor or should I just buy a new motherboard like a msi or asus h57.
