Dell Inspiron 620 i7 2600K Upgrade
Hi I was looking to upgrade my i3 2120 CPU in my Inspiron 620 to a i7 2600K/2600, Would my power supply be able to handle this? im not sure if its the 300W or 250W PSU I currently have a GT 1030 in the system which takes up 35W
Thanks

Fireball87,
The system Inspiron 620 ships with the 300 w PS. You would need at least a 450wch possibly higher. Plus, changing the motherboard.

Further, the K CPU is not clock-locked - it depends on a BIOS setting to set the CPU speed -- which your Inspiron system won't have. It will not run at its rated speed -- if you want the i7, get the 2600 - NOT the 2600K.
