Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Ah, will this do? I've checked the PSU calculator (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp) and that the recommended power barely reaches 500W (like 490 something W). I've shown you the specs, do you think this will work? Don't want my shit to be fried when I order them home. Thanks.
My bad, I was busy taking it out and looking at it.
I have this one:

It's a Dynex Model DX-PS500W
Here's what it says on the PSU when I looked at it:
Fan Controlled ATX12V Power Supply
AC...
So the safest route is to get a new PSU? My original plan was to upgrade my processor. As I dig deeper into what I need to get this i5 running, I need new RAM, mobo, and PSU. I don't know what do I possibly need more.
I'm upgrading my computer with new CPU, RAM, and GPU. I have 500W right now. If the new hardware's power requirements surpass 500W (which it probably won't, I looked it up), will it in any way damage my hardware permanently?
