Will a Phenom II X4 955 work on my motherboard?

[legendaryc4]

Hello, I'm planning on buying a Phenom II X4 955. Currently I have a Athlon II x4 620, it bottlenecks my GTX 660 ALOT. I've been reading and a lot of people are saying the Phenom II X4 955 will bottleneck but not by a lot and if I overclock it there will be no bottleneck. Also will it work on my board? Here is my PC(http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c01859864)
I have switched out the case of my computer to a gaming one.

SPECS

8GB DDR2 Ram

GTX 660 2GB

650w Antec PSU

Athlon II x4 620

Windows 7

I want to play games like BF4, BF3 , CS:GO, Star Wars Battlefront, and COD BO3 at medium to high at 50-60 fps.

Its a toss up. Most AM2/AM2+ boards are comparable with Phenom II, and considering that yours had a Athlon II, it should work.

you should probably look into a decent board + case.

Why should I look for a new case when I bought a gaming computer case?

I read this info at the link that you provided:

Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

AMD Athlon X2 (Bt)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 up to 6000+ (W)
AMD Phenom Triple-Core up to 8xxx (AM2+) (Toliman)
AMD Phenom Quad-Core 9xxx series (AM2+) up to 9850 (Agena)

What makes you think that a Phenom II X4 955 could possibly work? Based on the above info, the 95W AMD Phenom X4 9850 is the fastest supported processor and it isn't worth it.

I thought it would since it says 9xxx... Now I'm f*cked. I have to stick with my crummy Athlon II x4 untill Christmas.

Unfortunately it doesn't say Phenom II x4 9xx.
