Hello im looking to upgrading my computer (2009) and i wanted to make it as cheap as possible re-using everything i can, so im thinking of re-using the HDD, Case, Power supply. Im only 14 years old so i have extremely low budget (savings from school etc.) so i came up with these parts im thinking to buy:
Motherboard: Asus h81-e
CPU: Pentium g3220
RAM: Kingston black series 4gb 1333mhz
Graphics card: MSI gtx 750ti twin frozr (maybe i can change to the gigabyte version because it has 1 6pin power connector)

So my question is, because the PSU came with the case (when first building the computer) its not a aftermarket one its not from reliable brand, and it has 20pin atx connector (the asus mobo has 24) and i want to know if it will be enough to power the system (PCpartpicker says 155 wats at max), here is a picture of the psu label

I will buy a new power supply anyway but i want to know if it will work because i dont want to wait till i get more money (i dont mind if its not reccomended, i will take the risk if it will work) i just dont know if the 20 pin will power the motherboard and the GPU (from what i know the 24 is for graphics card power) so if u buy a 750ti with 6 pin power connector will it be better?

Don't use this PSU if you like your hardware. Cheep out on whatever you wish, but never the PSU (this one is very bad quality). Get XFX, Seasonic, EVGA, Antec, Corsair... basically anything brand name 450-500W. This will do just fine. And they are usually not that expensive, either. And can actually save you a bunch of money.

NVM I seem to not understand the question I will retract my statement and re-read your initial question.

Update: LOL I take that back I did understand your question and I agree with the rest you should replace the PSU. Under powering parts can actually harm them just an FYI and that's coming from 50 years of IT profession (not me my instructor) seriosuly consider a new PSU. The one thing you never skimp on is the power supply! If you want cheap power supplies buy any pre-built in store they always skimp out on power ;) you want a true custom build machine you may want to get serious about PSUs. Like 450W I never like to recommend less than 500W 80 plus personally. That's just my opninion though. Go to wwwpcpartpicker.com find a good Price per Watt from a reputable PSU OEM at a reasonable price. Of all the parts in a computer your PSU will be with you the longest! Reference this list for OEM by Tier http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html and read up on this toms article http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-psu-brands,3762.html
