Yes your power supply SHOULD be swapped out. At Least spend a premium on it, I recommend a EVGA 750 G2.

What is the PC for? If it's gaming, you spent WAYY too much on the CPU and the GPU is too weak. Also the PSU isn't good.

If it's gaming, here's your best bet: @EDPnajmi follow your own topics (right top corner button)

That thing gets murdered in gaming by a 4460 and 390 combo.

500W is more than enough for this setup, it's also from a reputable company and is 80+ Bronze.

Judging by your post about "it might be your hard drive slowing down", I'm going to assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

My sentiments exactly.

500W is plenty, heck 400W is enough, but that particular EVGA PSU is bad; its OEM is not a good one like their G/B/P2 series. I would go for an XFX TS 450W PSU. @STRMfrmXMN

lol, you and that build.  Let me guess:  You built that for someone.

The EVGA B1 series is based on a mediocre FSP design, not the great Seasonic and Super Flower units in the higher EVGA spec tiers. Don't assume every PSU from a company is good as they don't actually make them. The B1 is meant to be paired with lower-end GPUs like a 960 that don't produce a lot of heat, and not a 390 which will. Wattage-wise it has plenty of power, but on a quality level it's not quite suited up for the adventure. The GS/G2/B2/GQ units are the great ones from EVGA as well as all the Platinum and Titanium equivalents.

my budget is around 700 usd. although a little more should be ok

Some More Info:

1.Im mostly going to use this pc for gaming although its not meant to run high end games. The games i am mostly going to play is csgo and dota 2.

2.My biggest concern right now is that wether the gpu, cpu, case and motherboard are compatible with each other. This is a concern to me because in the link below it says that msi z97        gaming 5 mobo does not have vga support for the msi gtx950 gpu. Am I suppose to be concern by this?

No, they just have not updated the sheets.  The 950 will work fine on the motherboard.  What you should be concerned with is the bad value of the GTX 950 in a $700 (USD) gaming PC.
