Hi, this is my current rig :
-Gigabyte MA74GMT-S2
-2x2GB DDR3 RAM
-Athlon II X2 250 @3Ghz
-MSI R7 250 1 GB OC Edition
-Stock 450w PSU
As stated in the title, I'm looking to upgrade from Athlon II 250 to Phenom II X4 955 and also get a new power supply.
But i'm a bit hesitant/doubtful about some things :
-The X4 955 doesnt come with a cooler (got it for about $57) so i'm stuck with my stock 250 cooler, would it be ok or nah?
-I've went to "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator" and it says I need about 350w with the X4 as the CPU, any recommendations ? I have about $40-45 budget for the PSU (yeah not really that much)
-Would the X4 go well with my current rig (gpu/ram/motherboard) ?
