While my i-5 2500 has served me well over the last 4 years I believe it's time to upgrade to the i-7 series. While I would like to get a whole new motherboard as well and case my current funds do not allow for this at the moment.
What would be the best i-7 processor I would be able to put in my machine as it is?
I was also thinking of a GPU upgrade in a little while but I don't think anything else will fit into my current case/motherboard setup as this one barely made it in as is. Thanks for any and all help!
