Intel i7

[Metal]

I just got a new mouse, headset, monitor and got a new copy of BC2.

So my processor is old and bad.

 

Will this intel i7 work with my system i have now?

No, the Socket on your motherboard supports 775 chipsets. the i7 you are looking at has the 1156 socket.. So you would have to upgrade your motherboard aswell

There are still processors available on newegg for your motherboard but I recommend that you replace it seems a bit out of date seeing how things are exponentially growning.

 

 

here's the link for the processor type that you need http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007671%20600005851&IsNodeId=1&name=LGA%20775

 

And if you want to upgrade to a new processor and mobo just list a price for your budget. =)

wait for the new processors, also that is over priced to shit. You can get a i7-950 for 300 smackers.

Money is not a issue atm.

I will not buy stuff online from newegg.
