How old is the PSU? What is your current GPU? I wouldn't trust that PSU to power anything after this point since you should consider the PSU to be the heart of the system. If it has a heart attack, it can and will take out your entire investment. You should be good with a 450W unit from Corsair or EVGA.

I would be slightly skeptical about the board's BIOS since Intel is known to be nitpicky about what sort of ram you pair t with and I'm leaning towards the GPU being incompatible due to a lack of a UEFI BIOS environment. You could borrow a card from your friend/neighbor and see if it powers up on your system without a black screen.

yea, i doubt intel any intel motherboards had a UEFI BIOS especially on their consumer motherboards and that CPU came out in '09 so not many PC's had a UEFI BIOS then.

That is not better. Yes it should be able to power your system, but it comes with the risk of frying your whole system or burning down your house.
If you are on a tight budget get something like a Corsair CX 2017 model or Seasonic S12II. If you want a high quality look for Corsair RMx series or EVGA G2 series.
