    Need a little guidance please.

    My Dad gave me an Emachine http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspag [...] 8043606347

    It pretty barebones :) The Mobo is a ecs mcp61pm gm http://www.e4allupgraders.info/dir [...] M-GM.shtml

    I wanted to add a new CPU, has to be under 89watts so I went with AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 Brisbane 2.9GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor

    I really need to add a PSU, thinking about this BFG - 550-Watt ATX Modular Power Supply

    Lastly and most importantly I dont think my mobo has a PCI x 16 2.0? So I was thinking this might work? PNY - NVIDIA GeForce XLR8 GTS 250 1GB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card

    I am just unsure if all this will work with the Mobo, so if anyone can add any insight I would really appreciate it.
