Hello!
Will Intel Core i5-2500K work on GA-H81M-S2PT GIGABYTE MOBO?
and is this CPU enough for GTX 950?
and is 430 W power supply enough for both?
 
Solution
That CPU will work, but it's weaker than the one you already have. It's also more expensive than buying a 1155 motherboard.

The PSU is a decent unit, it'll do fine.

Power supply is EVGA countiunes power
Can you suggest CPU for my mobo that is good enough for GTX 950?
 
Is the PSU's model 100-W1-0430-KR?

I'd suggest buying a used LGA 1155 motherboard instead of a new CPU. It will cost you $150-200 to buy an equivalent CPU to what you have, while getting a used 1155 motherboard will only set you back around $50-75.

Well power supply is enough
No bottleneck at all?
