Guyz i need to know whether x4 940 is available now or i should go for x4 955 AM3.Is it worth it. (No plans to overclock)

My mobo is GA-MA78GM-S2H

Current Configuration:
AMD X2 6000+
7 Gb ddr2 ram
msi 6850 cyclone edition O.C
Coolermaster 600W Extreme series

Plz help

Your motherboard does support all the AM3 processors, upto the X6 1100T. And you definitely need an upgrade because your current processor is surely bottlenecking your powerful Gfx card.
Phenom II X4 955 is areally a great upgrade over your existing Athlonn X2 6000+ and you can go with it. What is the budget for the CPU?

CM PSU is Silent Series or Extreme Series(God forbid)?

Where? There is no point for going with 940 as it is EOL for a long time and missed the B3 revision. Phenom II 955 is the best choice here.

@ Cilus

Thx for the info.

x4 955 is a nice choice. I think i will go for that.
