Hey guys, looking to upgrade my CPU to an i5 but I don't understand which one to get. Like all the i5's have different numbers and I'm a little lost.

This is my current build. As for the CPU, no more than 200GBP and I would like to get an aftermarket cooler for around 20-25GBP. Is this possible? Also for installing a cooler, do I need to replace the thermal paste? Anyway help would be appreciated!

i5, isopropyl alcohol (for removing thermal paste) and a cheap, decent cooler to go with it

I'd consider getting an SSD, you can get a 240GB BX200 for £54

Is the CPU compatible yes?
If so then thank you very much!
