Im upgrading my pc with a new cpu but I'm having trouble thinking if my power supplier can support enough power for my graphic card and cpu for pc gaming. I don't know the name of my power supply but i know it watts it has 300W the new cpu I'm getting is a intel core i7-920 quad core processor 8MB

Current Pc Specs
Power Supply:300W
Old Cpu: Intel core i3-2120 processor 3.3ghz
Graphic Card: Evga Nivdia GTX 750 TI SC
Ram: 8gb 2x4
I don't know my motherboard model or name

New Processor:
intel core i7-920 quad core processor 8MB


So do i gotta get a better power supply or it good enough and I'm am getting a better graphic card in the future working on a budget.

P.S If I gotta get a new power supplier tell me how many watts i need to support or feel free to list some and i'm sure the cpu will fix my motherboard.

Why do you want a LGA1366 motherboard? For the i7 920? You're going backwards. You're better off keeping your current motherboard and getting an i7 3770 which is like 60% faster than the i7 920 while drawing a little over half the power.

Your psu would be pushing it with a 2nd gen i5 or i7 and GTX750ti. It would be best if you upgraded it.
You would absolutely have to upgrade your psu if you use the i7 920 because it's a 130w chip.

so you telling me my 300W power supply can supply full power to my i5 or i7 quad core processor and my graphic card and my motherboard is a Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua) i think and sorry for the trouble :)

This part was added when i got home
Ok my pc case is a Pavilion p7-1236s everything is the same but the ram, GPU, and hard drive. If u want you can help me by helping me find a motherboard with the LGA 1366 socket that fits this case because i'm having a little hard time finding one that would be epic!
