Looking to upgrade mobo/processor
So I bought a stock gateway with a shabby mobo and a outdated proccessor. I am looking to upgrade my motherboard to one that is capable of running a amd phenom II 6 core core.AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz....
I currently have a 650 watt psu by corsair. will I need to replace it? |

Do you mind buying new RAM and do you want to overclock the CPU?

GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD7 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s US...
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s... Those two motherboards are extremely capable. Cheap, but good RAM: 2x2GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 ... 2x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 ... or 4x2GB: CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3... AND You can also get a really nice cooler with that budget since you seem to want to overclock. Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
