Can I upgrade the CPU on this computer?

[Guest]

So. I have this computer -----> http://www.walmart.com/ip/eMachines-1TB-PT.NCV02.001/16608490
And I have no idea if the CPU or Processor (I think they're the same) can be upgraded, as the CPU could be integrated as the video card was, but I bought a new video card and It works fine.

Here's the processor(s)I want to get. I'll probably go with the cheaper one.

The motherboard in these brand PC's they are the lowest quality and price. Your CPU is 65W TDP , the procesor what you want to buy is 125W TDP. The eMACHINE producers don't tell what type of motherboard they put in the PC , so we don't know how much TDP support , 65w,95w,125w or 140w. It will be better if you send them an email to send you these specifications. My opinion is to buy a new motherboard ( not expensive ) and that processor.
You have a few examples :

Is changing a motherboard hard, Like we wouldn't know where to start.

Changing a motherboard isn't terribly difficult, but you probably want to know how before you begin. The toughest part is plugging everything back in after you're done.

Every motherboard come with an instalation manual , just folow the instructions. You don't have a friend who can help you with the instaling ? I did the same think , i called a friend who did this a few times and all it worked smooth.
