I have a solid inquiry. Would an i5 3570 that’s available for free fit in my system? I found it on a Lenovo M82, and I even have the cooler installed, which gives me high expectations. My PC is also a Lenovo model, and I’m running an i3 4130.

No problem, those chips and the 4xxx ones have different sockets.

You can fit an Intel Core i7-4770 in this case, as it should perform well with the system's capabilities.

The 4770 works well with your setup. If your BIOS is current, there shouldn’t be unusual OEM limits on it. The 4000 series Intel chips should fit fine. For gaming, the 4770 and 4790 offer the best performance options.

Can I use an i7 4th generation processor with my 180W power supply?

Do you own a specialized graphics card? Otherwise, 180W should suffice, though keep in mind the built-in graphics may limit performance.

I don't currently have a dedicated GPU, but I'll include one once I add another PSU to my PC.
