I just got a pretty decent deal for this market on a gtx 550ti. I know it is a very weak card these days but given I built this Pc for around 60-70 dollars it works just fine. I'm thinking about going on EVGA B-stock and picking up this: EVGA - W3 Series 450W ATX 12V/EPS 12V 80 Plus Power Supply - White, or something similar. My MOBO is an old LGA 1156 one, and here's my question: Do I need any adapters to be able to hook this or any power supply up to my old PC?
 
You will be fine. No adapters needed. ATX power supplies have not changed much in many many years. I think you would be better served by getting a Seasonic 500 or 550w PSU from NewEgg when they go on sale. I buy/use them all the time for $50-$55 CAN$. You won't save that much on a B stock EVGA PSU. I run a computer shop and I have seen bad PSUs from every manufacturer except Seasonic (so far, so good). I also had very good luck with Corsair PSUs.
