Artyfb30

okay how about this : core I5 3470 with 8 GB DDR3 ram. the only problem is that I can't tell if it has a display port, I don't know what I attach the monitor to. ps. is 10.5'' by 12'' ATX size

I have a HP compaq dc7900 with an Intel core 2 duo, the factory cpu. It has basic upgrades such as 4gb ram, windows 7, a 1gb GT730 gpu, and a 365 watt psu. I an trying to decide between a core 2 quad q9650 or core 2 extreme qx9650, but I am not sure if the qx9650 will work, my main concern is that the motherboard won't be able to supply the full 130 watts whereas the quad is only 95w. i have not been able to determine the cpu power rating on the board. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
