Hello,

I currently have a i5-2300 in my desktop, here are the specs:

https://ark.intel.com/products/52206/Intel-Core-i5-2300-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3-10-GHz-
Was looking to swap it with something new and better. Could I replace it with an i7-3770K?

(I know it's out of stock, I'll get my hands on one somehow).
If it won't work, could you suggest the best processor that would work with my motherboard?
