my pc build is

Mother board: asus h81m-a 3.2 ghz
Video card: palit geforce gtx 650(1gb ddr5)
Processor: intel core i5 4670
Ram: kingston hyperx 4gb
Case: dark knight series
Hard disk: 500gb 32mb cache

what i use my pc for is occasional gaming (dragon Nest online and Final fantasy 14)
Video editing and Digital art

i got a new PSU and i heard its really bad
its huntkey 500w (lw-6500hg) i cant find a review on hardware secrets on this specific model
most of their series exploded with used on its Rated Watts

and the last thing i want to happen is damage my CPU components or even start a fire in our house!

I want to know how much watts will my activities and CPU specs draw on my power supply
i dont want to put stress on it, while i buy a new one.

Thank you in advance!

yeah it was a bad decision, i just want to avoid having that result while i buy a new one
because i dont have the budget right now, just paid all the bills :(

While i try to get money, do you have any advice on what should i do?
i need to use my computer for my work but i dont want to put stress on it thats why i was asking if my build and activity will stress the psu . . .

On the side note what PSU Watt and brand can you recommend on my build?
the cheapest reliable available

(edit: just saw your reply)
