Even if you bought one, it wouldn't work. Your asus supports only these processors:

Intel® Core™ i5 3230M Processor
Intel® Core™ i3 3120M /2370M Processor
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor

Even if you upgrade to an i5 your gaming performance will still be poor. That laptop isn't meant for gaming.

I'd take a look at the socket to make sure it's not BGA soldered, which may be unlikely but they did release variants of the 3110m that were BGA.

I'm not sure if you've done this as well, but I noticed that you said you want the fastest performance out of your PC. The number one thing to do is be sure you put a solid state drive in it. That is without a doubt the best upgrade for speed. Then after that check to see if you have one or two RAM slots. If you have one stick of RAM in it but you have an extra memory slot, get a matching memory stick as well. It won't get you a crazy performance increase but dual channeling RAM give about a 10% performance increase. This is also an inexpensive upgrade.
Priority levels for your upgrades would be:
1. SSD
2. CPU
3. RAM Dual Channel

Hope this gave you something useful! Good luck pimping your laptop.

If I were you, I'd leave the CPU alone, your not going to see any gains at this point. The reality is the i3 is a bargain basement chip and its now 4 years old.

As mentioned, an SSD would be your cheapest, most effective upgrade. Other than that, save for a better machine and don't waste your money
