Question I want to see if my PC shuts itself down with my new GPU due to power supply wattage being inadequate, is that okay?

Will it damage my parts if I install my GPU and find out my PSU wattage isn't enough for my new GPU and shuts my PC down? I know that's a safety precaution so it would probably be okay, I just want to figure it out before I spend money on a new PSU which is why I want to know if it'll damage anything if I try.

Thanks.

To start, we need a FULL list of ALL the parts in this system.
Make/model of everything.
