Will a 350w psu handle a i5-6500 and gtx 950?

Title. Does this work? If not, should I upgrade my PSU? I have a pre built PC, and am relatively new to building PC's, and am wondering if I should take out a PSU and try to install a new one.

In theory yes, but it would have to have a 6 pin connector for the video card and actually be able to deliver 350 Watts I would not take a chance on a new PC and replace it.
Very good buy on this one right now the price will end soon.

A GTX 950 should use no more than 110W, and the I5 is rated at 65W, so with the rest of the system you're looking at about 230W under worst conditions, so you should be good, though you really should tell us the PSU model to make sure.

Depends on the quality , A labeled 350w may only be a 200w.

GTX 950 90 Watts but yes I would still replace it just to be on the safe side with the limited information. That would also allow for more upgrades in the future.

The PSU model is Turbolink ATX-XG500W

A google search results in 0 information on it. So upgrade at your own risk. I think Turbolink is Apevia, and Apevia units are poor quality generally, so I'd highly recommend a change of PSU.
