my motherboard is an HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT. I'm using an i5 2400 with an LGA-1155 socket. Should I upgrade to an i7 3770? You can find more details here: https://www.amazon.ca/Intel-Core-i7-3770...211&sr=8-2

HP's product page highlights the Q67 express motherboard and recommends an i7-2600 CPU. Prices for a 3770 are considered high, around $150 CAD, while eBay options may be closer to $100. The 2600 model will likely cost even less.
