Can the Lenovo M92P handle a e3 1270 (i7 2600)?

This is it's psu, maybe i could add a gpu too?

[Devryd]

why would you want to swap the CPU from quad core sandy bridge to quad core sandy bridge with the same frequency?

I doubt the PSU has enough power for an additional GPU, but maybe a gtx 1050 or 1650 could work

[Devryd]

Also in switching to the e3 1270, you would lose onboard graphics, which means you would need a GPU

[Devryd]

You could however, if there is a compatible BIOS version, switch to an Ivy bridge CPU. That might give you some more performance, but wihtout a GPU, this wont help much for gaming either (assuming this is your use case)

i'm planning on getting an empty prebuilt, so it doesn't come with ram, storage, or a cpu
i also forgot to mention that it's the m92p small

[Devryd]

Then I would get a bigger PSU and a GPU with a fitting cpu

possibly ivy bridge

that'd be a problem, i believe the psu is TFX and is proprietary 

[Devryd]

maybe an Ivy bridge i5 and a small gpu then?
will a gpu phisically fit in the case?

look, the e3 1270 costs half as much as the i7 and is the same price as a i5(2-3rd gen)
I'm trying to build as much of a cost effective system as possible

As for the gpu, it'll fit anything that's sff (think gt 1030 silent, 1650 LP)

[Devryd]

a 1030 has no gaming value

maybe save some more money and get something better later. 

i was thinking of ivy bridge i5 because it might consume less power. then you would have more left for the GPU
