I have a project I'm working on and basically I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck and squeeze the most power out of one of these thinkcentre M715q's or similar. It seems you can pick a decent one up for around $200 on ebay (with ~16gb ram and 512Gb HD!). I'm looking at the Ryzen 5 2400GEs and wondering how hard it would be or what problems I would run into if I were to upgrade the CPU to something in the 4000 or 5000 series. I know I would have to stick to a lower power version. I would guess the biggest issue will be motherboard bottlenecks and BIOS compatibility. Any wisdom you could impart on me would be great!

Thanks!
