I'm planning on buying a new CPU, but I don't have enough to get the higher end cpus/motherboards (e.g 4670k/z87/fx-8350) but I do want to upgrade my CPU.
My current CPU is a Phenom II x6 1045t. Its max TDP is 95W. I was planning on upgrading to an FX-6350 if I can. The max TDP on that though is 125W, like many of the higher end AMD CPUs. If I can't get an FX-6350 due to possible PSU limitations, then I think I'll get an FX-6300 instead.
My current PSU, although seemingly unimpressive, can run my build without issues, without restarts, and with overclocks. I've rendered a single video for ~ 28 hours before with no issues. Would the TDP increase push it too far though?
Specs:
PSU: (This is NOT my PSU, but it's the closest to what I have that I could find) http://www.itwinkle.com/noname22.html
The model number is ps-6401 -3, which is a Liteon PSU that seems to be better.
CPU: Phenom II x6 1045t OC'd
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333
GPU: Radeon 6950 - Flashed to 6970 BIOS
Display: Two 1080p monitors @ 60 Hz
USB: Game controller, mouse, headset, and phone charger.
Optical Drive: Some Lite-on that can't burn worth of crap.
HDDs: x1 1.5TB Barracuda Hard Drive, x1 1.0TB Seagate Hard Drive.
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P
