Coolermaster 600W Extreme series

Your motherboard does support all the AM3 processors, upto the X6 1100T. And you definitely need an upgrade because your current processor is surely bottlenecking your powerful Gfx card.
Phenom II X4 955 is areally a great upgrade over your existing Athlonn X2 6000+ and you can go with it. What is the budget for the CPU?

CM PSU is Silent Series or Extreme Series(God forbid)?

Where? There is no point for going with 940 as it is EOL for a long time and missed the B3 revision. Phenom II 955 is the best choice here.
