Will that PSU power up this build?I know it's a <<edited>> PSU but I don't have enough money to replace it.
 
Solution
No, that is a very poor PSU and can damage your system. Additionally, just because it says 500 watts does not mean it can run 500 watts on the 12 volt rail. The 12 volt rail is where it matters as that is where the majority of the system will pull power through.

I suggest getting a quality 550 watt PSU from EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic.
