Will my PC components being powered by a 500W power supply?

[junweiwan]

Hello,

I'm new to the whole building your own PC.

I recently bought a new Graphics Card: Asus AMD Radeon R9 270 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
and had to upgrade my current supply which was 300W to a EVGA 500B 500W 80+ BRONZE.

After installing my new powersupply I was really excited to power it up however it didn't.

These are my current specifications of my PC:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 FX
Processor Speed: 3.9GHZ (Overclock: 4.2GHz) Quad-core
Socket: SocketAM3+
RAM: 8GB
Computer memory type> DDR3 SDRAM
HDD: 1TB
Integrated Graphics Card: 1GB

I think that's all the details I can provide?

When fitting the new supply I took a picture of all the connections to make sure I made the same connections to the new power supply.
Also if this helps, when I turn on the power supply there is a current running to the new GFX card because the LED PCI-E is lit GREEN.

So maybe it is my motherboard that can't take the change in 200W?
The motherboard is a: A55M E33

Thank you

Is your monitor plugged into the graphic card's display outputs?

Since when did the MSI A55M-E33 have an AM3+ socket? It has an FM2+ Socket.

Is your specific CPU model listed here?

Did you connect one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector from the power supply unit to the ASUS R9 270 Direct CU II OC 2 GB GDDR5 [R9270-DC2OC-2GD5] card?

Yes, the HDMI cable is connected to HDMI port of the GFX card

Here are the specs of the PC. This is the PC I bought.

I'm not entirely sure what model the CPU is because I can't power it up to see via Computer settings
