Hello, experts. Please may I ask your excellent selves the following:

I have the HP P6 2388 EA Desktop. But, it only has an AMD A10 Dual Core (Turbo Core). And its seriously hindering my video making. (The socket is FM2, by the way).

I checked out the upgrade parameters on the HP site, and it shows I can upgrade to the AMD A10 Quad Core (Turbo Core) 5800 (may be 5700).

BUT, the AMD A10 Quad Core 6800k Black is also FM2 socket. I'd rather have this one.

Has the HP site just not updated the upgrade chart? Should I stick to what HP's chart says, or should I get the AMD A10 Quad Core 6800k? (It is, I'm certain, also FM2). Would it work in there?

Thank you for your time.
 
Oh, and also: I've researched how to actually carry out the upgrade, but do you recommend it as something I can do relatively simply on my own?

I'd much rather do it myself, rather than take it in or something.

Thank you.
