Ok, here's my current specs:
motherboard - ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
cpu - AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor ADX250OCGQBOX
ram - Crucial 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)
video card - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
hard drive - Western Digital Caviar RE WD1600YS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
psu - XCLIO Goodpower 500w
sound card - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
cpu cooler - Rosewill RCX-Z940-SL 92mm 2 Ball
I am looking to upgrade my CPU to this:
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ980FBGMBOX
Considering I am going from a 65w to a 125w CPU on top of my current PSU demands, would I have to upgrade my PSU as well? I'm really not sure at this point whether 500w will cut it or not?
If I would need to upgrade my PSU, would someone be able to recommend one that would be suitable for my setup that is reasonably priced while at the same time a reliable product?
