Need a new processor without replacing motherboard, don't know what type of MB I have
Forgive me if anything I say is incorrect, I don't know jack♥♥♥♥♥♥when it comes to hardware.

My processor is utter garbage, so I'm looking to replace it without buying a new motherboard, however, I have no idea what my motherboard is. I'm going to open up my PC at some point, but right now, when I look at Speccy, it says my MB is ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. CM6330_CM6630_CM6730_CM6830 (LGA1155). This is confusing to me because it's showing multiple versions of a motherboard seperated by underscores. I looked up LGA1155 as well, found a bunch of different motherboards that are related to that keyword. I bought my computer prebuilt in about 2012, by the way.

Can someone explain to me how I can find my actual motherboard model? Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, full specs:
Storage
931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-9YN162 ATA Device (SATA)

2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (ASUStek Computer Inc)
Motherboard

CPU
Intel Core i5 3350P @ 3.10GHz

Operating System

Your CPU is fine and no point in upgrading unless you do some really CPU-heavy tasks.

Just as others suggeted, if you want more FPS leave your mobo/cpu alone and look for a GPU (1060, 580 or older 480, 970 if there's a bargin), maybe replace the PSU unless it's top of the line.
My PSU is 350w, which is kinda on the lower-end. I found a great deal for a 960 so I'm going to get that. I can't change my PSU out though, I don't have enough money, so I'm hoping everything works well.

Again, thanks for all your help guys. Appreciate it.

Don't put it in there Nvidia recommends a 400W power supply.

You would have a much better chance of running a GPU like a 1050/1050ti which recommends 300W of power.

Steer clear of the 120w GTX960 like I said it doesn't handle dx12 remotely well and R9 380x would be a better choice on the used end for cheap.

Either way the current psu should go unless you're popping in a 75w GTX1050ti.

Ew, look at RE7 960 gets half what 1050ti gets. ^

350 is really a stretch, likely under the requirements. http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ enter your component here and check.

Also that PSU is 5 years old, it may be well at end of life even without pushing the limits. And it may be one of those unprotected ones that can blow other components on failure.

Would this be sufficient? I don't really want to run games on high or even medium settings, I just want to be able to run newer games.

Yup, leaps and bounds above your current gtx650.
