It depends what you are upgrading to (those you have listed, then no), but that looks like a terrible power supply if the one I've just googled is the correct one, so personally I would get a decent one anyway.

Does it have 6-pin ?

From what I can see, it doesn't have a 6-pin so you'll need a new PSU anyway.

I would say it doesn't matter. Don't cheap out too hard on psus. @JDE should be able to tell you what to buy, like maybe a Corsair cx gray label

It doesn't appear to from the spec sheet I have found for something with the same name, but it has 4 molex connectors so you could go molex to 6pin, but as the others have responded, I would still get a decent PSU instead, personally.

I'm assuming your current pc is a pre build one out of a store?

 

If so as they have suggested do change the power supply maybe even for a 550w.

 

Corsair 550W: Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

The PSU above is semi modular so worst thing comes you'll just need to buy some specific cables to connect it. 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...
