i already have a sapphire 6850 970/1210,and CM hyper tx3 cpu cooler and CM 350W continuous PSU. till now the max power used is just about 285W while gaming(crysis2 etc)

can you post the exact PSU model and what's your current cpu - look like a good 350W PSU

PSU=cooler master ELITE power 350W.
my current cpu is an athlon ll x2 245.

will the phenom 955 make a big difference from an athlon QUAD??

^^yep mainly due to the cache memory

@op,
yes it will perform better than athlon II X4.take a look here,

PII 955BE will also consume ~25W more power than Ops current Dual core Athlon II cpu
