I Was wondering is my motherboard even good enough to support a10 7850k? all i know is that the socket it same on both .

Can i upgrade to a GTX 960?

With that CPU (a10 7850k) and GPU (GTX 960) will there be a HUGE bottleneck?

Is the CPU worth it?
Do i need to upgrade my motherboard?

My Temperatures are Avg for the specs up above . will my pc go up in flames if i don't get a new case or fans? if i want what i want?

Sorry about grammar and spelling i speak German

Per this link it can accept the A10-7850K: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04293944
However, per passmark you would be going from a processor that gets a score of 5175 to one that gets a score of 5532 so you are only getting a 7% performance jump. I doubt you would notice the difference so I would say not worth it.

I don't see any reason a GTX 960 wouldn't work. And it would be a decent jump from the R7, going from 3153 to 5905.
Your PSU is good enough.

Cannot answer for bottlenecking but there are others out here that can.
