hi guys/gals
i'm new!
i am thinking about upgrading my gpu & cpu, but i am puzzled about my mobo.
i am planning to buy an i5 or an i7 cpu, but i am unsure if it is compatible with my current mobo.
the i7 range have the lga 1155 pins, while my current cpu (intel core 2 duo) has the 775 socket.
would i be correct in assuming that if if i purchased an i7, it wouldn't be compatible with my current mobo?
