Your PC has an AMD FM2+ APU installed in the FM2+ socket on your PC's motherboard .

You can only upgrade to an AMD FM2+ APU

 

The compatible FM2+ CPUs are listed at the following HP link. See the processor upgrade section. 

 

http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/6879020/model/7084018/document...

 

 

Per you request about SSDs.:

Just about any  internal 6 GB/s SATA SSD will be compatible, except NVMe types.

M.2 SSD disks are also not compatible.

Hi Goldfish,

 

The socket type of your desktop is FM2+

 

And the motherboard will support process upgrades : 

 

eg : Kaveri Quad-Core A10-7850B / K

       Richland Quad-Core A10-6700

        Trinity Quad-Core A10-5700     and the like. 

 

It will also support DDR3 memory modules. 

 

Hope this will help you to make a decision.

 

Thank you for choosing HP , 

 

Regards,

 

Ashok

sir what would be the best cpu is in the list?

HP Recommended

You may go for Richland or Trinity depending on the availability , since both supports 65 W TDP.  As you know your desktop comes with 65 W TDP.. 

 

It is better to stick to same.
