if you do get a new PSU make sure it is ATLEAST 80+ bronze. as for the PSU it maaay handle it. Rough calculation of minimum 380 maybe 400 watts.... So yes maybe, but can you give me a detailed list of the new specs?

I DEFINITELY would not do that. While FSP is decent these days and has greatly improved as of late, their older units are still a bit shoddy.

That coupled with the fact that its a 500W unit, I would not risk it.

Oh my, the Toms Brony community is growing, think I can ALMOST start a club after all.

That being said i also agree with you. The older PSU's might not be good for today's needs :<...
