Will my psu support the phenom II x4 965 BE with higher wattage. i have not finalised on mobo yet but it will be a budget one with basic overclocking abilities.

Yes your psu support it... But (actually 450W + Bad efficiency with labeled 500W, sorry about this)

it's not enough for overclocking 965BE + GTS450 (low power). You need minimum 500W pure/ true or above if you want upgrade GPU, sellect PSU from good performance like Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, Golden super flower etc depend your budget. Just my suggestion.
