After physically damaging my AMD Phenom II X4 810 (95W), I decided to upgrade to a AMD Phenom II X4 965 (125W and not OCed) with that I had to get a new power supply (a Corsair GS600) so my budget is already somewhat shot. Recently however I was looking at the motherboard specifications only to realize that the mobo's TDP is 95W (Mobo - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01742903#N94 ).
So I was wondering before I put everything together if this would be an instant failure, would I have time to buy another motherboard that can support it in the future and if so how longer would I have, or would I have to buy a new motherboard at all since I am not overclocking?
