The CPU will not bottleneck that.

Keep it to a 95W rating.

 

Also do you have a graphics card?

the GT630 GPU is very weak by todays standard...i hope you realised that most games won,t run properly on that thing right?

The athlon X2 CPU is in fact a good match for that GPU...they will perform about the same in most games wich is: under 15-20FPS at all time in most games...

You said this will be used for gaming and rendering...you will get gaming and rendering slideshows with such hardware...to play modern games at 1080P the minimum you should consider is a GTX 660 or radeon R7 265 and for the CPU i would say any quad core FM2+ AMD or intel core i3...

look guys

 For start  wanna play far cry 3 , and that can be on low , other than that rust and maybe some indie , and gmod , nothing shiny . Ty for your response nanosuits :D you realy brightened my day .

sorry man, but the GT630 will hardly play far cry 3 on low...that's my point..that GPU is extremely weak by today's standard...maybe if you can deal with 20-25FPS on all lowest possible settings and 720P or lower resolution it would do the trick...but i would strongly suggest your save some more money and buy a more capable GPU..something like an R7 260X for example is in order of magnitude better than a GT630...

On reading and pondering your dilemma i fear that your bottleneck won't come from any given part but by the capability of the whole system and i realize that your budget is low at the moment.

 

If you upgrade the CPU and use that cooler you will be limited by heat.

 

Yes you can and should add RAM but not 2GB more add another 4GB stick if you already have one just make sure it is the same as the one you have or compatible.

 

The GT630 is low end and for rendering you need a mid to high end GPU.

 

My recommendation is to save your money for a new build keeping in mind the parts you already have and what you can salvage from it such as the RAM(maybe).

 

Hope you get a suitable system for your needs man.
