CPU upgrade and Power Supply

by vespahead . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Here are my current specs:
Processor: AMD X2 5000+ BE
Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
RAM: 2 GB OCZ DDR2 800
Power supply: Antec Earthwatts 380
Video: Nvidia 6800GT

i am looking to upgrade to:
Processor: AMD Phenom 9750, 9850, or 9950
RAM: 8 GB DDR 2 800

Couple of questions: I do mainly video editing with after effects, will i see any significant performance increase with the new processor? I know with the RAM i will, but curious about the processor.

And will that power supply support the specs? I also have 2 HD’s, and 1 DVD-ROM

Thanks!!!
Zach
