It should support it just fine. You'll have to make sure your PSU has a 6pin connector or make sure you have a molex to 6pin adapter, but other than that you should be just fine.

No problem. Like i said, you'll have to check your PSU, but as long as you have that adapter you'll be good. Good luck!

I'm going to be buying a new PSU as well so that should take care of any of those problems. Any suggestions on what size PSU to get?

well, that depends on whether or not you plan on upgrading in the future your other parts as well.

If you are gonna go for a better CPU later on and/or another gfx for sli, i would say maybe grab a 650w or higher. if not or if you only plan on upgrading the cpu later a 500W should be more than enough.
