Hello, I want to upgrade my HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF PC, I know this might be an obviouse quistion but i'm kinda new to computers.  Is my PC compatible with a Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz Quad-Core (BX80605I5750) Processor?

Hi:

Your PC cannot support any of the Intel core processors.

Below is the link to the Quickspecs for your PC.

The supported processor can be found on pages 7 & 8.

Ok, thank you.  Can my PC at least support a i3 first gen cpu. If not than thats ok, Thank You.

You're very welcome.

It cannot support any Intel 1st gen processor including the i3.

Only the processors listed on that spec sheet I posted will work.

OK, thank you.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Here are the comparison specs between the i5-750 and the Q9650...

The Q9650 is no slouch.  It will still beef up the performance of your 8000 Elite SFF.
