I have an LGA775 socket motherboard and I'm looking for a low power usage cpu to pair up with a gtx 950. I'm looking on ebay australia. I need this for playing rainbow six siege and cs:go.
 
Solution
the best CPU you can get are the following

Pentium Dual-Core E2140 Conroe (65 nm) 1.6 GHz 65 W
Pentium Dual-Core E2160 Conroe (65 nm) 1.8 GHz 65 W
Pentium Dual-Core E2180 Conroe (65 nm) 2 GHz 65 W
Pentium Dual-Core E2200 Conroe (65 nm) 2.2 GHz 65 W
Pentium Dual-Core E2220 Conroe (65 nm) 2.4 GHz 65 W

65w power out of 250w leaves you with 185w, add motherboard ram and hard drive you will have nothing left for a GTX950 video card
you need to look not only GTX950 upgrade but at least 400w power supply as well
