My pc has a G2120 Ivy Bridge cpu. I was wondering if I could upgrade it to an i7cpu or maybe something faster any ideas. TY
 
Solution
these CPU's would probably fit:

65Watt:

Core i5-3570S
Core i5-3550S
Core i7-2600S
Core i7-3770S

these would possibly fit, if you have enough power:
Core i5-3570K
Core i7-3770K

this one will fit 100% sure:
Core i5-2500T
Core i5-3570T
Core i3-3250
Core i7-3770T

hope that answers your question

the socket your CPU is using is 1155, which means you could get an upgrade.
although the CPU you're using only uses 55 watts at max, so could you tell me what powersupply and graphics card you have?
i'll go search for a list of socket 1155 cpu's for you,

after you upgrade your powersupply, you could get any of the CPU's i listed.
i would get a power supply first and then upgrade your CPU.
if you don't want to upgrade your power supply, get one of the 100% sure CPU's i listed!

hope that answers your question
