Motherboard, CPU and Case Compatibility

[Robert van der Leek]

So Ive decided to (almost) fully rebuild my pre-built HP computer. NewEgg is having a sale and decided why not do it now.

I picked out the mobo and need a CPU as I realized that the socket types are different. Looking for a decent CPU under 140$

And will the mobo fit in my current case or will I have to upgrade that too?

Original pre-built (Im using this case with a 500W PSU and a 750 Ti) : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03135882&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N92

Sorry for my abundant questions and not checking this myself.

The HP Case is an ATX case so it will fit your new Motherboard. Any Motherboard with an ATX form-factor will fit inside your current case.

This is a nice Socket AM3+ CPU with 8 Cores and is right on your budget.

Here's a comparison of this CPU and other 'Vishera'-family models versus other market players:
