My motherboard is M2N68-LA (Narra6L) - It's from a prebuilt compaq.

It has a 95w TDP so the best CPU would be the phenom x4 945 deneb 95w or I would have to get a new motherboard.
At 900p, will a x4 945 bottleneck a radeon 7850? Should i get a cheaper GPU so it's more balanced? Will i be able to play newer games with a solid FPS on High/med?
I'm not planning to OC, maybe in the future but right now i just need a decent/budget build that will run most games.
Current PC:
AMD athlon x2 270
Radeon 6450
2 GB ram ( Might be getting 4GB)
Win7 64 bit
900p monitor
I don't know my PSU, but i know i'll have to get atleast 500w power for my GPU.
