Can I upgrade to i5 or i7?

[IanTheSloth]

I have an ALIENWARE_X51_R2, Its got an intel i3 processor and 8GB of ram. I was wondering, would it be possible to upgrade it to an i5 or i7 processor?

Sure, you have a 1150 motherboard, just so long as your power supply can handle it if the new processor takes a lot more watts. The X51 R2 only has a 330W power supply.
