ok so here is the deal.. my computer has a i3 processor socket lga 1156. i believe the motherboard is a Intel H57 according to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883147093 . i was wondering if the processor can be upgraded to a i5 or i7 processor? just wondering if this motherboard can support it. , perferbly this http://www.frys.com/product/6000928?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG processor i am looking at. sorry for the misspelled title.

You can use I5 and I7 Lynnfields up to 2.93 ghz which is the processor you want.

core i7 870 will work.
What are you using the PC for?
if you use it for gaming/ video editing, you'd better invest on video card

Yeah, it'll work. Powerful PC, though I don't understand why they've put 6GB of RAM (i3 runs best w/dual channel) and simply left HD graphics at the helm. I mean, unbalanced, or what
