Product: HP Pavilion P6520y
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I currently have a HP Pavilion P6520y desktop with an AMD Athlon II X4 635 (2.90GHz) processor.

 

What would be the best processor to upgrade to for today's standards?

Preferrably having 3.5GHz

 

 

If you have instructions on how as well or a youtube video that would be tremendously helpful!
