The CPU and motherboard listed are compatible, and you should be okay power-wise. My one concern is RAM: if you've got older modules (DDR2, for example,) you'll need to replace that. Also, be aware that you'll have to re-install your OS to accommodate the new hardware configuration, so backing up your data is a good idea.

Since that CPU includes a cooler it should have thermal paste as well, and though buying aftermarket paste might improve your temps marginally, I'd say it's not necessarily worth it unless you get a better cooler as well.

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and click the "Performance" tab. The "Memory" tab should list the total quantity and type of RAM in the upper-right corner. If it says "7.0 GB DDR3," you're good to go.
