This may be a stupid question. How do I know how many watts each part of my pc use? Is there a program of the sorts? I am upgrading my cpu and my gpu, I am afraid that with my 500w psu that it may not be enough and may damage my new parts. I am getting a AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8 core CPU and a MSI GeForce GTX 970 4gb Twin Frozr V GPU. Is 500w enough?
How do I know if my psu will be good enough?

How do I find my psu model? How do I know how much HDDS I have?
I will not be overclocking anything myself but I think the MSI gtx 970 4gb twin frozr V gpu is factory overclocked higher than the normal ones. I put my current components in an 1 hdds because I have no clue what it is and I got 283 watts as of now. Will my wattage change during gameplay? I am deathly afraid of not having a good enough psu that will damage my new cpu and gpu that I worked hard to get. If it says the minimum is say 445 watts, does that mean that a 500watt psu is enough? Will the watts change and go over 500watts?
The gpu is a MSI GTX 970 4gb Twin Frozr V gpu, it is factory overclocked higher than the normal gtx 970s. Will this version change anything? Also, the gtx 970 recommends 500watts, does this mean that my psu should be 500watts for only my gpu? Or would this be good with my cpu, gpu, mobo, ect.?
