For that I head to the motherboard maker's page for the board and see what their CPU LIST has to offer. Then off to tomshardware.com's CPU CHARTS and see if I can buy that CPU.
As to the Computer ID, why not http://www.piriform.com/speccy and such?

When i bought this i spent around 1700$ for and was the fastest i could buy and i think i want to up grade the processor and Video card. From what i have seen i can put a duel core chip in there and i would hate to buy something and it not fit or work cause i'm a noob on computer ID's and what not. if any one can help me get a core processor and video card that would upgrade my system with out spending way to much money. on unemployment atm ![]()
