Is it possible to upgrade the CPU, such as an i5? Thanks!

Like S. Yu, I am not a computer guru. However, you should be able to search & find your answer on Google, YouTube and/or BING. Enjoy your ASUS computer (I very much LOVE mine!)! Best of luck to you finding the answer to your question.

You could, It would be bottle necked by your CPU. I'd look at getting a new mobo setup if possible

You cannot upgrade the processor but you can upgrade the Graphics Card to anything that will support the PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.

Yes, that's more than enough. What type of processor and motherboard do you have?

That would be a "NO" If I read the specs right you are running PC-2700 and that in no way can be upgraded to what you want.

contact 'computer upgrade king' and inquire. I think they can make it with whatever you want in it.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

No, there might be ways to slightly overclock it or force the 4 cores to run at highest turbo speed but the improvement is insignificant. Get a K version if you really want overclock.

I think it could b upgraded, but you may have to purchase said upgrade from gateway/Asus???

I don't see why that could not be accomplished. However, you need to, first, check with the company that manufactures the processor.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

I'd say no, unless you're doing a lot of very CPU intensive tasks like video editing. I use mine for work as an IT consultant and the i5 isn't close to being topped out.

It does not come with a CPU. Any I series processor from intel with an 1155 socket. Here are some i5 processors that will work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_7?k=i5+1155&sprefix;=i5+1155

Yes some parts are user upgradable like the RAM, HDD/SSD, wireless card. Other parts are not like the GPU. Other parts can be upgraded by will void your warranty by doing so like the CPU. Did you have a specific part you were curious about?

Yes sir, it is compatible with that CPU. I have the Intel Core i5-2500 in my current build and it works like a dream!
