The FX 6300 comes as a 95watt and 125 watt version. You will need to order the 95watt version for your board.
Both power supply's are good. If the price is comparable I would choose the 550 watt version for future system upgrades or for a more powerful video card.

With bios 1401 your board supports the 6300. Update the bios before you switch the cpu.
Since you did not state what 450watt power supply you have ,I can not say for sure if it will work with the GPU upgrade.
Can you list power supply brand and model number? Then I can advise one way or another.
Some power supplies are rated at continuous output and some(el-cheapo ones) at max output for a few milliseconds.

The 6670 draws 61 amps and the 6300 125 watts max. This is without overclocking
That is a total of 15.6 amps. Your power supply is rated at 20 amps max on the 12v rail.
I could not find a review of your power supply.
You will most likely never max both at the same time.
So it should run your system, but I would replace it with a good quality power supply from tier 3 or better from this list.
