Well, I currently own both, an i7 3770 and an i7 3770k. Which one should I put into this motherboard?

HP Recommended

@Mohamed134,

 

Install the i7-3770K as it is more powerful than an i7-3770 because of the slightly higher base speed (3.50 GHz vs. 3.40 GHz): https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3770/1317vs1979.

I'm also in the same situation as the OP, but I don't have enough funds to buy neither i7 CPU nor high-end GPU for my HP microtower 3500. Could you please suggest some good CPUs and GPUs without upgrading my stock PSU

HP Recommended

@Irfan420,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

All right, according to these HP Pro 3500 Microtower PC specs, your stock power supply is a 300-watt unit -please verify.


If you can, upgrade to 2 x 8GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, such as Crucial CT102464BA160B.C16 2x8GB.

 

CPUs: i5-3470, i5-3550, i7-2600


GPUs: GTX 1050, GTX 1630, GTX 1050 Ti, RX 6400

Kind Regards,

Thank you for replying, man. I totally forgot about this and didn't check back

I upgraded my RAM already :), but is there any way to check my PSU watt without opening my PC?
