1st of all I like to think I'm a PC geek ,but the truth is, I'm not. So, I'm bit of a gamer. I most of the time get 30 fps with games like: Minecraft Battlefield Kerbal Space Program etc... I know up grading my pc (HP Pavilion p6-2133w) is pretty much useless ,but I have about 400$ in budget.

My PC: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5187028&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03183981-9%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken


So I want to get a new processer: AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition.

So I need (want) more ram ,so I'm gonna double the amount of ram i currently have (8gb)
I might need more watts but I'm okay getting more.

I'm not sure if I need anything else ,but I have a budget. So I am willing to do others but I'm not sure what I need in order for what i want to work so... Can any of you tell me if I need anything more in order for this to work or will it work just fine. Don't judge if my selection is dumb as I said I'm not good with computers. Don't worry I have friends that can help put together.

Any responses is helpful,

That cpu will not fit in your pc. Your motherboard has an FM1 socket. That chip is an FM3+.
