i'm unsure if my PSU can support the new specs. I currently have a GTX 1650 with 4GB GDDR5, Gigabyte H310M S2H, a 500W power supply, 240GB NVMe SSD, 1TB HDD, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and an i3-8100 processor. I'm thinking about upgrading to the i5-8600K without overclocking and adding another 8GB of RAM. Should I also consider replacing the CPU with a cooler like the Aerocool Air Frost Plus (link provided)?

I notice your selection highlights only certain components while omitting others you're inquiring about.

This type of power supply gives me a slight doubt, since Dust seems to be a real brand, right?

Recommend choosing an established brand for your power supply.
