Solution
No. And throw that away. Do not use it with any system again. That's a dumpster fire waiting to happen. You are fortunate you never had any issues due to that unit in the past, or did, but didn't realize it. If you had a fairly low powered system, it probably was never taxed much. Gamdias is not known for quality power supplies.
That case has no, ZERO, radiator support. No, you can't.

And, please don't post screenshots of your PCPP page in the future. Instead, click the "bbcode" button on PCPP and copy/paste the code from there to here, so that it looks like this when you are done.

Yes, for sure. 550w is plenty, IF it is a GOOD model. I just went with the 750w to give you some overclocking headroom for the GPU card and CPU in case you wanted to do that at some point, AND because it was only like two bucks more than the closest decent quality 650w. Actually, you could probably do whatever you want, overclocking included, with a 650w model. But if you don't plan to overclock, a good 550w model is plenty.

Do you have your heart set on a water cooler, because if not, and if we dropped down to like a bronze Corsair CX unit, you might even be able to fit an RX 580 into that budget. For like another 40 bucks, you could fit a Powercolor RX 580 in.

Because the 850 Watt certified gold psu is only $7 more I decided to just go with that one in case I decide to get a Radeon 7 or something on the future. And for the new and improved aircooler you showed me that would free up some of my budget and since I’m technically over budget I’ll stick with the 570. And do you think a 550W will be enough for the computer under heavy load. Cause I am looking at a 550W 80 plus bronze by Corsair.
 
I can't answer that without knowing the EXACT model of the PSU. Corsair has some older CX units that are 550w that are not very good. It also has some newer ones that are still not great, but are pretty fair, and will work, like the 2017-present models of the CX and CXm.
 
Yes, that PSU will be fine for that configuration. Again, it's not the best or even one of the better units out there and if you CAN afford a better one, it would be wise to do so, but if you can't, you can definitely get by with that one. For a while anyhow. I wouldn't expect it to go much more than maybe two to three years though if you game hard on it pretty frequently.
