Ebay, but honestly the move to an i5 isn't much of one, it only adds turbo boost and maybe some extra cache. You could try to move to an i7 and get the extra cores and threads but I have no clue how the thermals or bios support would work. Why are you looking to upgrade this computer, whats holding you back?

Not as simple as that.

Is your CPU actually changeable? Many aren't, especially older ones from HP and the like.
Soldered directly to the motherboard.
