Can I upgrade from a core i5 to core i7 CPU?

The answer is yes, however it is better to just order core i7 model. These prices are specific to these prebuilt systems and come with CPU Core specified by model. You can always check out http://www.asus.com/Desktops/M11AD/specifications/

You must get the same generation of it as the i5 that's installed but from the i3 to the i7 within the same generation has the same socket.

Yes you can game with this CPU. Please check with game for specification requirements.

Going with this CPU from the I5 would be a small downgrade. If your looking to upgrade onto AMD go with at least a FX 6300 or better If you have the socket to fit. The FX 6300 is a 6 core if you can afford the 8xxx series ( 8 core), that's even better. This is a great CPU but in all honestly it would be a slight downgrade from the i5 you have now.

We are glad that you are interested with this item. Upon checking, this model can support Core i7 Processors. Thank you for contacting us.

On your i7 what speed is it and same on i5. They made some very slow cpu's. You might have a i5. That's faster than i7. Never know.

i can not tell the difference between i5 and i7 for normal use, so i would say i5 one is my one.

It can be ordered in either i5 or i7 configuration, but upgrades of either the processor or memory are not possible due to packaging constraints

Is not an i7, but is good enoughWindows 7 rate this cpu with 7.6 over 7.9However it's better than an amd solution

It does not come with a CPU. Any I series processor from intel with an 1155 socket. Here are some i5 processors that will work.

The first one has the i7 intel CPU the second one has the i5 CPU. Depends how much processor power you want. If you just want to browse the internet, send emails, do some light office work the i5 is fine. if you use Cad software, do heavy gaming or other processor intense activities then the i7 is the wway to go

No, i7 does not support any dual-chip configuration whatsoever, it's a built-in limitation of the i series processors (not the motherboard mfg's). There is a relatively equivalent xeon processor with a lower clock, but certain xeon series (e5) do support multiple CPU configs.

Yes you can. The motherbord has an AM3+ socket and the core socket is AM3+. Is a really good cpu tho

No! You will have to search for Motherboard w/CPU. If you buy the board don't expect to get a cpu unless it says it come with one

No, you will not, there are special motherboard for this processor, like GA-990FXA, due to the power consumption of this processor.

The i5 processor is a new version. Better but not noticable for normal application. Unless you plan on using your computerms for online games or an thing that requires very high processing ability yout would not notice a difference. An upgrade in ram would give a huge boost on noticeable seen in practical use though.. in any computer. :) hope that helps

Yes you can, that motherboard supports a 1155 pin cpu and this a 1155 processor.

yes you can but i would recommend something in the fx 4xxx or fx 6xxx range, but if you just need a cheap processor and not doing heavy gaming it will work just fine.
