What is the make/model of your motherboard? In all likelihood, the i5 will fit. Just confirming what you have.

That appears to be a standard PC with a typical Socket 1155 motherboard. You should be able to install the i5, there is little chance it won't work.

Please follow up to let us know how it works out.

Only if there is a newer version available. If not, proceed.

i got i7 3770k and it works extremely good with a overclock to 4.469 ghz and no bios update needed

You should notice a big difference with that upgrade.

yes it took about 10 seconds to open chrome then and now it is instantaneous "almost"
