Can someone give me the link to a CPU I could buy that they would recommend, I'm looking for a 2.5 Hz CPU that is reasonably cheap, for the X552C,

Gamer the cpu is most likely integrated with the motherboard you will not be able to upgrade it

For a moment, this made no sense to me considering you can always upgrade a CPU for a desktop.

Then I realized he has a laptop lmao. Yeah you most likely can't upgrade it boy, tis a laptop, the CPU comes with it.

So here's the thing, replacing the CPU in a laptop is 1. Hell and 2. Not worth it.

 

Better off buying a newer laptop

[Nade Jones]

Its christmas ask for a desktop PC

[Bbstine]

Desktops are the future,

Oof my CPU is a I7-7700k 4.2, and I love that so I'm not sure? Maybe an I5 or lower I7 would be good

@IKE aren't you a particularly young fella? Replacing the CPU on a laptop required soldering. If you don't know what this is, it's using a torch to melt a metal into the edges of the CPU. I'm not a soldering expert, as a matter of fact, I've never attempted it, but, I don't believe you can A. Acquire the gun needed and B. Acquire the solder needed (most likely gold...?).

 

Tldr, upgrading a CPU is very difficult. Sell your laptop and upgrade.

I see, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Okay, new question because I literally know jack shit when it comes to computers, how would I go about transfering data from my current PC to a new one?

I'm selling a T530 if you are interested. Isn't pretty but it's cheap. 

[Firat/Abi]

I personally have a i7 6400 and overclocked by myself so that should be fine... Idk what "cheap" is in the uk

I would transfer the non returnable items. Games and apps that can be downloaded need not be transferred. You can use Google Drive or a flash drive. Examples of non returnable files are school, tax information, etc.

Either upload it online, or transfer all your disc stuff to another one or you could put that hard drive in the new one

I currently have the Asus X552c laptop, which my parents bought me for christmas, they bought me it like 4 years ago so they won't be hurt if I sell it, I will likely sell it to get me closer to buying a better PC, anyone got a price range for the computer, I'm currently looking online to see how much people sell it for and I'm finding varied results

I mean, if you know how to build it and so on, then you should check amazon.de otherwise I actually don't know any english websites besides danish I'll probably try to look it up tomorrow and see if I can find anything. 

[IKE]

I see people selling it around the price range of 150 pounds so I'll probs sell it for that

[✪ Vicious]

R3 2200g is amazing, personally i don't use it but i've seen it being used, it also can be bought online for just under $100.

@IKE Id suggest checking out youtube channels like LinusTech, and Jayz2Cents. They are very reputable sources for information on PC's. They are also running a lot of deals still on PC's.

 

 

The only thing I can say for sure from my experience is if you're looking at graphics cards, never buy an AMD one and always go for a Nvidia one.

Round about £600, Christmas is near and my birthday is kind of close to it and I’m just basically asking for money.

Depends on your budget. My Tower is $700 and was pre-built with parts.

That would require him solder every pin connecter peferctly not possible without some very expensive equipment
