Hello.

I have a five year old PC and can't afford a new one at the moment. So, I'm trying to get as much out of this one as possible. It's an HP Pavilion P6210f with an AMD Athlon II x4 620 processor and 8 gigs of ram.

My video card is a Radeon R7 360.

With a 600 watt power supply.

According to HP's website, the highest processor is a AMD phenom ii x4 9xx/9xxe/8xx quad-core (deneb). (95 watt).

I tried an AMD Phenom ii x6 1035t to no avail and was wondering if the 945 would work. Thanks.

Hi. The 945 will work just fine and it is also a very good processor. You could probably run a 965 ( you would need to check to see if you needed to update the BiOS, but I think not ), which would be good with that Video card.

Does it come in a 95 watt version?

I'm upgrading from a 550ti 1gb version, and Fallout 4 needs a 2gb card, the r7 360 works just fine. =)
