This psu should be good enough. Do you install both psu and gpu at same time? imho you should first install your new PSU and use your computer for a while. If its ok then install your new gpu.

I don't think he has to keep using the PSU for a while after installing, because for people that build their PC's, we just plug and play.

I doubt your problem is related to the PSU, what do you mean bu "it just sits in the bios"?

EVGA 500W 100-W1-0500-KR is an average psu. Should be ok.
