So I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and graphics card of my computer.
The current components I have:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
Motherboard: BIOSTAR Group A780L3L
GPU: ATI AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB
PSU: Powerline VP-430W
The motherboard supports the following CPUs:
With Maximum CPU TDP (Thermal Design Power) : 95Watt
So having this on mind I've been thinking about getting AMD Phenom II X4 960T. I'm not sure if the motherboard would support a CPU that requires more than 95Watt TDP.
As for the graphics card there are three I was thinking of getting:
GeForce GTX 560
Radeon HD 5850
Radeon R7 250
However, when it comes to GTX 560 and Radeon HD 5850 I'm not exactly sure whether my PSU will be able to support those two GPUs since it's only 430W, and I only have money to upgrade two components (For now I cannot buy a new motherboard, psu, hdd, etc)
So any advices on here what to do in terms of upgrading? Is it worth upgrading my current Phenom II X2 to Phenom II X4? Which graphics card would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for the help!
