Hello,
I currently have;
AMD A4-6300 65w CPU

and am looking to upgrading to an
AMD Athlon x4 860k 95w CPU

I am using the PSU from My ASUS M11BB which is
AcBel HBA005-ZA2GT 350W ATX -

Total specs
CPU - AMD 14-6300
GPU - GTX 750ti
HDD - 7200 SATA
PSU - AcBel HBA005-ZA2GT 350W ATX
RAM - 1 stick of ddr3 8gb

If my PSU cannot handle the upgrade what do you recommend? I'd like something reliable, please keep in mind I'm on an extremely tight budget.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Take care :)

Yes, the PSU will handle it although the PSU itself is poor quality. If you plan on upgrading your GPU in the future, you need to get rid of that PSU.

Make sure your mobo's BIOS supports the 860k CPU. If not, update your BIOS to the latest version.

Good luck :)
