looking to upgrade my old pc

[numbers]

currently using i3....if i wanna upgrade my cpu/mainboard, do i need special equipment or is it just buy and screwdriver it in?

i know how to fix other parts myself, but never done mainboard before....and i find abit wasted of my casing and other parts if i assemble a whole new pc....

erm.. screw driver in but you have to read the instruction for installing the CPU, there is risk involve there.

if you want to save money, get a MATX board, because is cheaper. ATX board is waste of space for normal users.

wah sound dangerous for nooby like me to self install....later few hundred $$ go down drain lol

Can just bring the system to Sim Lim and get the hardware changed at a fee too, if you're more on the safe side.
