Processor replacement on Asus Aspire X1430

[Icaruspit]

Hi I just want to know what processor ( cpu-gpu) I should pick to replace if from. My graphics card is an amd radeon 6300 HD

The X1430 has the CPU/GPU soldered onto the motherboard, so it isn't user-upgradeable. However, you can add a separate, single-slot low profile GPU like the HD 7750: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=06EC1E23-8D88-49FD-9178-621F00ADC4BB&lang=eng

Isnt there any room inside the case for this gpu? I can see the motherboard is taking all the back slots, how should I proceed if I buy it

Does it look like this? If so, there's already a GPU in there (or maybe just an expansion card for more display ports) that you'd remove and replace with the new card.

Yes its exactly this! though the two top holes for graphics ports were blocked by two metal parts that were easy to remove, thanks! also, I cannot find the card you proposed in any of the stores I visited, and I dont want to spend more money on prepaid cards as they have some kind of fee. I found this though, could it fit/work for my pc?

That wouldn't work, that card is both dual-slot and high-profile, so it won't fit. Can you find one of these?
