My current specs are:
PSU: 240w
CPU: AMD Athlon x2 220
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7750
RAM: 5 gigs DDR3
optical drive(s): 1
HHD(s): 1

Can I run a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) or do i need to upgrade my power supply?

Background:
So, I think its time to upgrade my CPU I was looking to upgrade it to a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...). But I noticed it draws 125w of power, so that bring up the question of weather or not I need to upgrade my PSU. I was looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Yes, you need to upgrade. The one you link to should be good enough
