Obnoxious :
Please may I ask what chipset is your motherboard? You can find out by downloading software such as
CPU-Z, and selecting the "Mainboard" tab. Feel free to take a screen shot of CPU-Z in mainboard rather than typing it out.
There onwards I'll try and determine compatible CPUs.
To be honest I have a laptop which is similar in specification to your all in on PC, I upgraded the CPU and RAM, but the greatest "performance" boost was from installing a SSD. You may benefit from a SSD too yourself, rather than a regular HDD. You don't need to get a SSD, I'm simply suggesting.
All the best.
Thank you for taking a look!
I ran CPU-Z yesterday and the following is from the report generated:
