Probably a good choice. Intel processors are able to handle more heat than
the ones from AMD.
Thanks for the info, great!
How hard is it to upgrade a processor later? I'm thinking of buying a i3
now, but like to be able to upgrade to a i7 later.
NO!!!!!! i3, i5 and i7 all have different pinouts. They are not
hardware compatible. What you build now is what you get. The most
you'll likely do over time is buy some more advanced i3. You'll likely
NEVER run an i7 in that machine, short of buying a new motherboard and
starting over.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong. There are i3, i5 and i7 processors
available for the LGA1156 socket. Most i7 processors are made
for the LGA1366 socket though, but at least one is made for the
LGA1156 socket. I also think all i3 and i5 processors are made
for the LGA1156 socket.
