Hello i have a HP Pavilion Gray Edition p6774y PC. My friend upgraded the power supply to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153114 .
I was wondering whether that would be enough to maintain a
AMD Phenom II X4 955be which requires a 125 watt powersupply http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-HDZ955FBGIBOX-125W-Processor/dp/B00275G0VE
and a GeForce GTX 660 of which i do not know the power supply http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SUPERCLOCKED-Graphics-02G-P4-2662-KR/dp/B00966IREK . (maybe 150 watts).
So thank you.
 


That should definitely be enough.

It should be enough to power it but that power supply isn't a great one. In fact, it's likely to fail within 1-2 years of when you purchased it. I would save a little more money and switch to a different budget power supply like a Corsair CX500 which you can get for about $40 now.

Thank you both for your quick and insightful answer. I'll go ahead and purchase the card and the processor and after the installation of both set my eyes on a new power supply compatible with my motherboard.
