1| Please follow though this PSU tier list to pick out a reliable and robust PSU. Picking a cheap unit can and will ruin more than your investments in your system, it can be a fire hazard and take down your residence too.
2| Follow through this guide to understand how much power you really need.

3| I wouldn't touch that unit with a 10 feet pole simply because it is equivalent to a paper weight and will eventually see your system become a paper weight if used to power your system. I'd highly suggest that you pass on your full system's specs. It's quite possible that you could pick up a couple of pointers managing that Core 2 Quad in your possession. I'm yet in possession of my Q9550 system 😉
