Motherboard: Intel DP67BAB3 Socket LGA 1155 Desktop Board - ATX, Socket H2 (LGA1155), Intel P67 Express, DDR3 1333 MHZ, RAID, SATA 6.0 Gb/s, 1x PCI Express x16, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0.

Okay, now the question is: Will a 500 Watt power supply work with this type of motherboard? Of course it is an ATX PS2 which is compatible with it. I'm just asking if the power will hold or do I need to go lower or higher with the wattage of the power supply?

the PSU is dynamic it uses only as much as needed 100 watt at adle 300w under load that kind of deal.
Generally speaking 500w PSU is more then naught for most PC's

you would need more then that if you have top line gaming video card, or dual video cards. need to know your complete system specs for better advice
