Hello,
I would like to refresh my old PC. Currently, I have an Intel Pentium G850 (dual-core 2.9GHz) with an Asus P8H61-M LX motherboard.
I would like to switch to a quad-core or a significantly more powerful dual-core. How can I find out which processors are compatible?

Hello,
I'm afraid you'll also need to change the motherboard and the memory.
In fact, your motherboard has a 1155 socket (the processor support) and there are no longer any processors available for this type of board.
As an example (since it is no longer being sold... or only second-hand), you would have needed this type of CPU... which is no longer for sale
https://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Processeur-LGA1155-Socket-Version/dp/B004FA8NX2 .
Otherwise, opt for an upgrade kit like this one:

For the price, you get the processor, the motherboard, and the memory.
Don't forget to mark your post "resolved" once the issue is fixed. Thank you.

Hello,
ouch!
there are no more new CPU socket 1155 (or at crazy prices), so only the second-hand market is left (with the risks that come with it)
otherwise, the good solution is indeed to go for an upgrade kit
But personally, I would either go for an Intel CPU, like here,
or with AMD, I would wait for the release of the new Ryzen CPUs in AM4 socket, scheduled for early March:
https://www.tomshardware.fr/les-17-processeurs-amd-ryzen-devoiles-en-details-lancement-le-2-mars/
because it would be silly to end up with a platform at the end of its life, just after buying it^^
PS 1: I don't have 300 euros to spend on this
oh well, then go for second-hand^^
here are the CPUs supported by your motherboard, along with the BIOS version:
https://dlcdnwebsites.asus.com/maintain/web/500.html
the i5-3570 requires BIOS 4104 (or higher)
PS 2: I have a 500W power supply, could that cause a problem?
no, if it's a good brand, but it mainly depends on your graphics card, which we don't know^^

example: I5 2500 = ok
example: I5 3500 = not possible
example: I5 4500 = not possible
