Hi I'm just after some advice please. I'd like to upgrade my iMac to an SSD and if possible the processor also. It crashed recently due to the original hdd having errors.

It's a mid 2010 iMac 21.5 with intel core i3 3.6ghz.*

I'd like to update the hdd to a 250gb ssd and the processor to a quad core i7. I need advice on what will and won't work please any advice much appreciated. I got a mate that will help me install it all who's done simular things before, can't afford to do it thru apple. I was thinking buying a samsung 840 evo 2.5 250gb SSd from pc world locally today and putting it in tonight, (which im presuming will work?) then next month I'll do the processor. *Thanks
