theres no reason to consider coolmax -500w as an upgrade
get antec vp 450w ,evga 500b or xfx 450w.
are you planning to upgrade your GPU? it will not handle well on games today

It should be easy to do, just make sure your PC is powered off, your hands are free of eletric charge, start unpluging cables.

on the side note, your pick on the new power supply is not a good option. If you plan to use your PC longer, get a good PSU, spend a few more $$ here you won't regret it!

Only use a coolmax PSU if you want your house to burn down.
