Need some guidance!!!

Hello everyone!

I have this PC: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03437996

MOBO Specs:https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-omni-120-1200-desktop-pc-series/5268240/model/5306873/document/c02993109

I am looking forward to  upgrade it  so it could handle my python scripting needs; this could very well handle turbo cpp mainly DBMS and some school assignments with some crashes here and there.

My upgrading strategy:

I am upping the RAM to 6gig  (DDR3-1333).

there are 2 x  SATA 2.0  one goes to hdd(500gb) and other one is for optical drive 

So my choices are to either remove the hdd and throw in a new SSD or ditch the optical drive and give that port.

Lastly the cpu I am thinking about:https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/52209/intel-core-i5-2500-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-70-ghz.html            if i could find one.

 

 

 

What would you do and recommend ?

Please do lend me some of your precious time!! I really need some help.

 

 it is an - All in one chassis so the cooling department is something I am totally uncertain about.

I would recommend trying too get a 2600k and for you to ditch the optical drive and keep an ssd and hard drive

Really sorry for late response I was very caught up, I am planning to ditch the ssd, have upgraded the ram already and looking for 2600 i5 second gen. The SATA situation is complicated the MOBO has a full fledged SATA2.0 which is connected to hdd however the SATA for optical drive is diffrent, It does not have a power header and seems like some mini-SATA version. Thank you very much for taking your time and replying me!!! have a nice day!
