I have a dell precision 490 and I want to use everything in it but upgrade the motherboard so I can get a more modern cpu in it. I'm trying to make this thing play games fairly well while also being able to do some heavy work loads so I'm looking at a new intel core i7 maybe or even an amd fx cpu. Would I be able to replace the motherboard in the computer with a compatible motherboard for these two cpu's?
Another question I have is can I use the stock 750W dell psu and also the 32GB of RAM on another more modern motherboard?
