Hello again, I'm looking to upgrade this machine on a $200 budget. Specifically replacing the cpu which is currently an Athlon II X2 250u and It's integrated 6150se graphics. My machine is on a MCP61PM-GM rev 2.4 motherboard and for what little specifications I can find on the net I know it can run at least 65watt cpu.
My other specs include: 4gb of ddr2 memory and a 300psu and a usb 3.0 pcie card controller.
As for parts I'm looking at a Athlon II X2 270 but I'm more inclined to find a 4 core solution for reasons mentioned below but as of this day I cannot find one in stock.

And for the GPU, its a gt620

I currently use this machine for (very) light office/gaming/video editing work however, I use mostly use it to play AND encode high def h264 video. I know this processor isn't meant for this kind of workload but, It's what I had and I would have been satisfied with it if I wasn't for the advent 10bit h264 and that is what is currently overburdening my cpu for the past year and the reason why I want a four core cpu.
With all those aside, the question is are these parts compatible with my machine?
