help with a processor plz...

Thanks for Skyrim!

Different socket means they aren't compatible.

I'm blind. I came here looking title like "help with a professor plz..."

As long as it has lots of confusing letters and numbers on the end u will be fine.

Your processor though is an Ivy bridge chip, and your current motherboard will support up to an i7-3770k, though any i5- 3XXX should improve your performance leagues more than any dual core Pentium could- even overclocked. There is no sense getting a K seris processor as a board with a Pentium rarely supports overclocking

You can buy a good CPU for your socket, there are really good CPUs for it, like Intel Core i5-3340, i5-3570, i5-3570K, i7-3770 and i7-3770k

You need to buy at least an i5, buying another Pentium as you said in the thread, is a pointless upgrade, or at minimum get an i3.
