Well I've a pretty old PSU .My specs atm are
4gbddr2ram
E8400Core2Duo
r7 240 ddr5 with boost
So I wanted to ask can my psu which is 230 w,handle a core 2 quad instead of the duo?
The r7 240 doesn't require much it consumes just bit energy that's why i bought it.
But minimum core 2 quad wants is like 105w so I'm bit worried guys?
 


It should be fine mate. For the future, I would get some sort of 500 watt PSU so you don't need to worry :)

Bro it's uhm AsRock 4Core1600-800 It's pretty old but I'm keeping this rig only for few months more but I want a new proccessor just so I can run cinema 4d smoothly.So I can handle everything with 230psu without like something getting burned or?
Since I've 2 hdd's ,4gigs of ram,and the graphics card?
 


That processor I gave you the link to works fine with your motherboard and PSU but like I said, it's recommended to get a PSU upgrade sometime soon.
