Hello guys,
I am thinking about throwing in a few bucks into my old rig just to max it out to it's full potential. But, only as a side project. It's an HP Pavilion P6210f,
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01852858
With an AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor, and I read somewhere that the highest cpu the motherboard will take is an AMD Phenom II X4 945,

($50 on Ebay) and it will NOT take a six core as I've already tried this.
Here's the PSU I've chosen:

and video card upgrade, it currently has a Geforce GT 610

I already have the RAM and hard drive, so is this worth it?
