Case upgrade advice needed

Sorry as cooler was in my head for some reason. The CPU will work with any other mobo designed to accept that CPU so yes...no problems.

linnemeyerhere,
Thank's for the replies. I do understand about the CPU cooler, it comes w/hardware for Intel and AMD's. I did not intend to ask about it.
I did look at the HP site and the list for CPU's, but wanted to know if it was worth changing the CPU at this point or not.
The X6 is 95 watts w/ 6 cores and is included on the list.

linnemeyerhere, found further info. on the Amd Phenom II line of CPU's and they are not being produced any longer and being replaced by FX series, AMD+ sockets.
So rather than toss out $$ on outdated stuff, I will look into a new MB/ CPU combo.
Can anyone help to point me in the right direction ?

Newegg has low prices normally. I'll check there for the reviews and then check prices on Amazon.

Thank's Britton30,
Which ones are the latest and greatest lines of MB / CPU combo's ?

Meaning, what make and model of each.

I'm Intel now, but for AMD the FX6100 and an ASUS AM3+ board would do you well. Pick a board in your price range. I have Intel ideas too, but more expensive.

I realize Intel is more $$ it always is.

Since I have no idea what I'm talking about for MB's I also have no idea of what they cost and no idea what to look for.
What is the new generation of things coming ?

Good one Kelly, I think the 990FX is the top AMD chipset these days.
