You'll be right on the margin with that aging 1st gen Phenom triple core. If you are looking for a processor for that board, let us know the model of your board, not just the chipset.

Oh. A HP/Compaq. If you don't have the owners manual that lists the processors and the required BIOS, I suggest you hit the HP forum for that answer. Usually a rep will jump in with help... eventually.
In the meantime, this brochure has a rough listing for you to go by: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0ahUKEwiF0rLizKHNAhVTXlIKHXt6DrUQFghaMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fh10010.www1.hp.com%2Fwwpc%2Fpscmisc%2Fvac%2Fus%2Fproduct_pdfs%2Fdc5850_data_sheet.pdf&usg=AFQjCNGg2FGTSJ7O5-tYAIdQaYqLWWOyfQ&sig2=HLcB5KLExBh_S79e3qLcyA&bvm=bv.124272578,d.aXo&cad=rja

It's not that easy to answer. Yes in some games, no in others. Yes if you game at high resolution, no if you game at low rez with low settings that the CPU affects. Yes if you plan on gaming online on a busy server, not so much if at all if you play single player games. But some CPU bottleneck is not a deal breaker with a CPU that old and slow. That simply means that there will be times when the GPU is waiting on the CPU. A slow CPU with a fast card is better than a slow CPU with a slow card.

Update: I have a Phenom X3 8650 in my collection. I also have a GTX 750 Ti that is roughly the same performance as the HD-6870. I will put them in my AM2+ board and run some tests for CPU vs GPU usage with a few games I have that have built-in benchmark pgms.

I'm in the process of running the benchmarks now. Unfortunately, the only games I have that have built-in benchmarks are Hitman Absolution, Tomb raider, and Metro LL. But it should give us an idea of what the old triple core can still do. I'll get back to you via a PM...
