Hi i am new to the gaming pc world. and i bought a pc new from killshot gaming. i need a new cpu. my pc comes with a AMD A4-6300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics. I will be upgrading a new 750w processor. And a GTX 750 Ti Graphics card. but i need a better cpu. as of my knowledge my cpu and graphics card is built in 1. So i dont want a APU. I was wondering what other cpus are compatible with my MSI A55M-E33 Motherboard. I was looking at Intel i5 Processors. I NEED HELP!

I'm assuming you mean power supply? No-one makes 750W CPUs.

The only chips compatible with your motherboard are FM2; list here.

You basically want a new motherboard if you want anything more powerful than an Athlon 760K, which is probably somewhere around a Pentium or i3.
