Hey guys. I want to do a system upgrade, me and my uncle were searching through stuff and found interesting things, most notably, we found a Phenom II 1090T (6 core @3.2GHZ) for around 100 bucks (price can be negotiated), an r9 280 and 8 GB of RAM. I was wondering if the Phenom will fit into my current motherboard, the ASROCK 960GC-GSFX and also if the r9 280 and the graphics card will be suffeciently supplied in terms of power with my CX-500M. Thank you.
EDIT: one final thing, I wanted to know if the Phenom 1090T is better than the FX 6300.

I have a Fury Nitro and an FX 8320E. Screw my life?

just get a 6300 

 

the ram is probably OK 

 

your gonna strain that PSU. I think a 280 is like a 250- 300 watt card depending on the version

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

What? It has support for all four Phenom II X6 Thuban chips, 1090T included.

@Phoenix721 - both the 6300 and the 1090T are six core but the older Thuban chips were real six cores. In single threaded applications like games the 1090T will likely be better at stock. And since your motherboard is not a strong overclocker you aren't likely to get a 6300 to perform as well.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Umm. There are more than four Thubans.  The four listed are 1035T, 1045T, 1055T and 1065T. The P/N for 1090T starts HDT90... I don't see it listed by Asrock...

 

I'm only assuming this but I'd say the reason it's not listed is that it has 125W TDP (Just like the rest of the Thubans that aren't listed) There's no above 95W TDP CPUs listed so it's probably a power thing.

I was just looking at that a bit closer and I think you're right. So the 6300 is the only real choice then.
