its pretty easy to install a new processor - yuo shouldnt lose your info given thats stored on the hard disk not the processor, but you may also need to upgrade your motherboard and ram dependant on how old your system is and compatability with the new hardware. how much it will cost is more how much are you willing to pay? price is a big range. what performance are you looking for from it?

If you changing your motherboard & processor, you would normally format the hard drive. Different chipsets will require different drivers, which windows needs to install. Back everything up on disks which ever route you take.
Nowadays its problably just as cheap to buy a new pc than building one. Heard good things about Dell.
The pcworld ones I've found are abit crap.

if you do decide to get a dell one make sure you get the extended warranty - the normal one only lasts 3 months
