The Phenom series is worse that the Athlon II series. You will want a Phenom II x4-x6 for gaming. For low-med gaming, x2-x3 is good. If I were you, I would get an hd6850 is you want to play new games, and future games all maxed out with that res. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127566&cm_re=hd6850-_-14-127-566-_-Product good card right there. PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341039&cm_re=OCZ_600w-_-17-341-039-_-Product I own that PSU and it is good. OCZ makes pretty solid PSUs and it is 600w. I heard that it can go 700w, but I wouldn't test it.

The Phenom II X4 955 B.E. is a great CPU, but your board can't handle it. If you want a great upgrade that will last you 2~3 years, get a different MoBo, different RAM, a hd6850, and the Phenom II X4 955 BE. If you don't want to spend more money on a CPU, and MoBo, than stick with what I said. Btw, DDR3 RAM is really cheap!
