Change of plan, I'm going with Danny Bui's plan and get that Antec PSU 520W. I'm also going to get an i3 instead of an i5.

Yep, higher end everything.

Thanks a lot for the help! But I'll just go save more money to buy even better specs. This is all shit. Thread closed.

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.

What about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159125

What do you suggest then, my good sir? I'm willing to pay 70 bucks maximum.

My bad, I was busy taking it out and looking at it. I have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DYNEX-500W-POWER-SUPPLY-DX-PS500W-/120971786789?pt=PCA_UPS&hash=item1c2a7afa25 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...

I'm upgrading to: - i5 Sand Bridge 3570k Quad Core @ 3.4ghz (77W) - 2 x 4 GB DDR3 RAM - ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard And my current graphics card : EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 - 185W peak usage (500W PSU minimum)

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?
