Upgrade CPU on a lenovo C560

[RmeNayv]

I've got a C560 mostly stock, upgraded to 12gb RAM. MOBO is Lenovo 10150. Current CPU is G3240T @ 2.7. I'd like to upgrade that but not sure what I can support. Any suggestions would be great.

Thats my major concern but if there is a way to disable intel HD graphics and add something internal or external I'd like to do that eventually. I'm not opposed to swapping mobo but I'm not sure what will fit in the All-in-one form.


Thanks

i5-4570T Will fit and is in motherboard power specifications,should run on original bios as it is a lenovo option. Reviews say there is no option to upgrade the graphics,but you should open it up and check for a laptop type graphics slot just in case,as one reviewer said theirs had a radeon M card fitted. There is an i7 option but that is bad bangs per buck. The i5 is twice the power of what you have. The hd4600 graphics on the i5 are, i believe, also twice as pokey as your current cpu with 20 execution units instead of ten.

I went ahead with that, should I need to change the fan and heatsink or will they be fine AS IS?.

As far as the graphics go I opened it up and I don't see any sort of PCI. I know Lenovo had a 560 model with AMD graphics so maybe that is what the reviewer saw. I have only intel HD so I assume the integrated 4600 would make a big, noticeable difference.

Thanks
