amd processor help

[cdawg]

These are my specs for my gaming pc
8-Core AMD Bulldozer fx-8120 Processor Liquid Cooled Processor
16 GB of Corsair Vengeance Ram at 1600mhz
Asus Sabortooth 990fx Motherboard
EVGA 2gb 560 Graphics card
1000 watt Power Supply
1 TB HDD

Is it possible too switch the amd processor for an i7 quade core processor because when im downloading and extracting files my computer becomes kind of laggy and not wanting to respond thanx

No, you have an AMD motherboard. You need to get an intel capable mobo first.

Life's right. You'll have to go Intel based with the motherboard and the i7 cpu chip.
6 core Intel cpu chips. You want more cores you're going to have to step up to the Xeon line. Warm up the VISA card cause those are outragous. Serveral thousand dollars
