I upgraded my cpu sometime last year to a core 2 duo e8200 and now i want to upgrade it to a core 2 quad q6600. I currently have a 250 watt psu (I know, it's pretty bad but it does power my gt 630 pretty nicely).So my question is, will the cpu work with my system?

 

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

Okay, i was a bit worried because i didn't want to replace my psu and get one ordered because my cpu just came to day and want to use it. :P

Yeah, the socket is the same, and the TDP is low enough to not cause any problems.

My 6600K and 970 draw only 300W
