Product: HP Pavilion Desktop - TP01-0014

Is it possible and is it worth it to upgrade the i3 to an i5 or i7?

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC:

 

HP Pavilion Desktop - TP01-0014 Product Specifications | HP® Support

 

It has a Rother motherboard, and the processor upgrade information can be found at the link below:

You can probably upgrade to the i7-8700 processor too, even though it is not listed.

 

The i5-8500 is.

 

Check eBay for the processor costs.

 

I see the i5-8400's going in the $30 - $40 range, and the i7-9700 around $100.

 

The i5-9400 for around $45 - $50.

 

The i5-9400F's require a graphics card to be installed, so unless you've installed a graphics card, don't buy one of those processors.

 

Depends on how much you want to spend.

 

The i5-8400/i5-9400 should help quite a bit, but of course the i7 would be even better.
