X51-R1, upgrading CPU
Hi, I have an alienware X51 motherboard in a new case with a new gpu and power supply and I was wondering if a Intel Core i7-2700k is compatable with the x51's motherboard. My current CPU is a intel i5-3330 and it has the same socket (LGA-1155) so does that mean it will work with my current mobo?

Not worth updating CPU to buy into the Mhz Myth.
Intel® Core™ i5-3330 Processor
Cores 4
Threads 4
Processor Base Frequency 3.00 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency 3.20 GHz
Cache 6 MB SmartCache
Bus Speed 5 GT/s DMI
TDP 77 W
Processor Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 2500
Graphics Base Frequency 650 MHz
Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.05 GHz
A new Geforce 1050TI and 330W power supply would improve things quite a bit.
