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.

 

What about this CPU?: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-I3-4160-Processor-Hyper-Threading-BX80646I34160/dp/B00LV8U0VE/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1455747702&sr=1-5&keywords=lga+1150+cpu
Here is the PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SDR4/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

Well power supply is enough
No bottleneck at all?
