I am going to buy the Acer Predator G30710-UW77. It comes with an i5-6400, 8 gb of ram, and a GTX 1060 3GB. I would want to upgrade the processor to either an i3-8530k, i7-7700k, or an i7-8700. Are any of those cores compatible with my new computer??

    If the sockets of these CPUs are the same as your motherboard's socket they can fit, but the issue can be that the BIOS doesn't support them. For that you need contact Acer support and ask them whether these CPU's are supported by your motheboard.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Hi,
    You can upgrade your model up to i7-6700 and the CPU will work, i7-7700k and i7-8700 may or may not work, I doubt i3-8350 will work at all.
