[Oliver_49]

What's the best CPU my PC can support? I'm talking about i3, i5, i7, etc.

Current Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU J2900 @ 2.41GHz, 2408 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

RAM: 4 GB
VIRTUAL RAM: 11GB

OS: Windows 10

System Manufacturer LENOVO
System Model 90BX0018UK
System Type x64-based PC
System SKU LENOVO_PN_Lenovo E50-00

Need any other information or specs about my pc, just say. I know I've probably missed something.

You cannot. FCBGA1170 is soldered socket. You need to replace Motherboard along with CPU.

Thanks, what can I upgrade without changing MoBo?

Ram and hdd. Nothing useful for gaming. It uses a non standard mobo and psu. So with that, a gpu is out as well as you only have a 65w powerbrick. It's using laptop components and a lot of empty space in a desktop case. It's quite an odd pc. For gaming, you'd need a new pc. If you are short on cash, look for used.

Surely I can just upgradethe MoBo & PSU to upgrade other stuff then?

You'd be buying everything in a whole pc besides a case and possibly the hdd if you want to keep that. The case isn't good but you'd still pretty much be buying a whole pc.
