Yes your motherboard should support it. But for overclocking make sure you have a 550 to 600 watt power supply.

I had that CPU before I tried this chip in it and ended up changing the motherboard all together. I found out that the system was not as fast as I liked. Anyway I looked up the specs on this site http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document

A 270 x is basically a 270 over clocked. Basically paying more money for a card when you can just download MSI afterburner and over clock the card yourself. Which is what I did. I got a 290 instead of a 290 x and saved myself over a 100 bucks at the time. Then I just boosted the core and memory clock myself and it performs on par with the 290x.

Not at all. The socket for this is am3 while yours is am2. It won't even fit much less work. Plus trying to upgrade an emachine is kind of a lost cause. Maybe the ram could be updated but that's about it.

AMD supporter as well. You can upgrade, but make sure the PSU that you choose will fit inside your tower/case unless you want to upgrade that too. Also, make sure the PSU will have enough juice to run the graphics card and all your other components (or you could ruin your new PSU and your mobo).

Yes because AMD FX-9370 socket type is AM3+ while the motherboard is also AM3+ but there is a probably that the motherboard can't support the processor's power wattage.

considering the 270x is roughly 80% faster than the 6870 i would think you shouldnt have a problem with those settings. If your buying a 270x go with the 4GB version instead of the 2GB version.

Sorry I'm AMD all the way, but your motherboard mfr and/or the card mfr should have recommended power supply requirements on their sites...

this cpu is not compatible in an am3 socket. if you want a 6 core get a phenom ii 6 core 1100t or a 1055t if you want to save money. ive owned both and they were great i run an fx 8350 now but the phenom ii where great too! just make sure you use an ssd for boot drive. you'll have an insane beast ;D

I'm using a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK - fits fine. From the looks of the 2 R9 270 GPU crossfire I see no problem. You will have room to spare.

No, that AM2 processor will not install. There are some MSI microATX boards that will and are cheap. I mean good, but out of date and therefore inexpensive.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

Your video card will be most important. I had to upgrade from rhatheon 6480. Went to R9 270. You will need at least duo core and 8 gb memory

i replace pentium dual core 1.8 for core 2 duo 3.06, in socket 775, is best machine...

I never owned a 6950, but my go-to place to compare graphics cards is here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html Tom's Hardware separates cards into comparable tiers. So if you look at the chart, the R9 270 is two tiers above the 6950. This card won't yield a substantial performance gain, but it will run a little faster.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much. But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...
