Are you sure that's the computer or psu model? I googled that, and it seems to be a model number for a dvd rw drive.

Omg,sorry im stupid.Thank you for making me relize though, I was looking at the dvd drive.I just saw mine is 500w.Should I buy one that is 500w or like 575w.Would it help at all?It says max-550atx..

That depends on your PC configuration. If you do not plan to upgrade your PC(like add a new GPU etc) a good quality 500 w PSU would suffice. But do post your full PC configuration for a better recommendation.

If you can't see a sticker with the proper labels:
1) That system is illegal to sell in half the world, all power supplies must be properly labeled in NA and EU countries (as well as AU,NZ, SA, JPN, etc)
2) The PSU isn't enough to handle a new GPU

Try looking on the opposite panel, perhaps the label is on the other side. If you plan on getting a 1070/1080, buy a EVGA g2 550W or similar just in case.

I'm not planning to upgrade and gpus or add into slots.Its just simply that my psu wasnt working which caused errors in my computer.So in buying a new one so i can use it again (So i cant log in or use it atm)But reccomandations for any good 500w atx psu would be helpful.Thanks!

Larger is never going to be "bad", rather just less efficient, but for the EVGA g2 550 the system might actually be more efficient than lower quality 500W ones. It'll also give you enough juice to upgrade to a 1070/1080 in the future.
