Hey everyone, I have a Gateway desktop that has lasted me 5 years now and still runs great. The only thing i have upgraded is the video card however i want to upgrade my cpu.
I have read the sticky topics for this forum so I know that LGA 775 have limited choices.

ps----I need to upgrade my powersupply because of my graphics card.
I just need to make sure the power supply has the right connectors or is there more to it?
Also is it possible to upgrade my memory to DDR3?
Would these be viable options or are there better ones out there?
