Here is the Link to the specs if anyone is curious http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02859378 the video card is a Nvidia GeForce8600GT ( soon to be replaced Hopefully) anyway this video card requires 400w but my current stock power supply is only 250w (explains why my games crash) anyway i have ordered a new power supply 550w that is a replacement for the current 250w and also bought 8Gb more ram so now i have 12Gb. My only thing is i can replace the processor on this mother board but i am dumb when it comes to this part Max TDP: 95W Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades: NOTE: Only Socket AM3 processors are supported with this motherboard. AMD Phenom II X6 10xxT Six-Core (Thuban core) AMD Phenom II X4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (Deneb core) AMD Phenom II X3 7xx/7xxe Triple-Core (Heka core) AMD Phenom II X2 5xx (Callisto core) AMD Athlon X4 6xx/6xxe (Propus) AMD Athlon X3 4xx/4xxe (Rana) AMD Athlon X2 2xx/2xxe (Regor) AMD Sempron Single Core 1xx (Sargas core) i have looked at a few but am not sure which one to get , if someone could maybe point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. NOTE: i don't have the money for a new one or the capability to build one so i am trying to make this one last for now

If its a bit old. Could always use your current one as an always-on file server depending on how loud it is. Awards
