Upgrading my cpu

[Jozefws]

Hey, I have just thought of upgrading my cpu from a i3 550 (old) to a new i5 3570k but the socket on the i3 is 1156 and on the i5 1155. Just wondering is this is an issue? Thanks, Joe

1155 socket isn't compatible with 1156 same like 1155 isn't compatible with 1150!
For upgrade you need i5 with 1156 socket i5 8** http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-Processor-LGA1156-I7-860BOX/dp/B002KQ5KE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393276308&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+860
