@roanator,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

I would definitely recommend you upgrade your HP ProDesk 600 G3 MT processor to an i7-7700.

 

This processor has the same 65-watt TDP as your i5-6500 and would give you a very solid CPU boost: UserBenchmark: Intel Core i5-6500 vs i7-7700.

 

Kind Regards,
