So I've come into an older HP Pavilion P7-1234 that has the AMD A8-3870 (yes that old lol). It has the AAHD2-HY motherboard. Im curious about swapping the board out to Intel base. I found that ASUS has a board in uATX form that I can put an 8th gen i5 in. If they're the same form factor it should just bolt in...... right? lol Does anyone have any experience with this? Am I just wasting time and money?

Yes I realize this not a "gaming" PC.
