    The 500W 24-pin power supply is a standard ATX PSU. The TC-875-UR11 uses just a totally different PSU.
    Unless you are an electrician that can make all that modifications, I would suggest you to return the 500W PSU for refund if possible.

    @ttttt but what would i do with the graphics card because it needs a 350watt minimum power wattage and the Tc-875-Ur11 only has 300 watts

    I would try to get a refund  for the graphics card if possible. If the graphics card is a low profile card that does not require extra PCIe 6-pin power connector to it you can try it on the existing PC. If the 300W power cannot power it, it will just not work and won't burn the motherboard. If it works you are in luck.

    Acer has 500W supplies available for other models, and since the form factor is the same they can be used on yours. Two Acer part numbers for 500W supplies are: DC.5001H.001 and DC.5001B.009.

    Bad English through online translation. Excuse me. I connected my TC895 to a standard ATX24. True, the power supply has to be started with a toggle switch, and then turn on the PC with a button. According to the link, a person remakes a 6-pin connector. But this is at your own peril and risk.

    I hope that isn't wired as the colors indicate... They have the power switch connected to -12V and +5V standby. :(

    I have it connected like this. Green PsON is permanently connected to black. This starts the power supply. And only 12V comes to the motherboard. The PC is turned on with the button. Therefore, at the end of the work, I turn off the power supply with the toggle switch.

    The power switch should be wired between the green Power On and one of the black Ground wires. The +12V/Ground pairs should be wired to each of the two power connectors on the MB.

    I will try to connect the GND on the 4. I have this circuit. On the native power supply, the 4 pin was free. I connected PsON to the first one, but the power supply did not start, and then there was no time to figure it out. Therefore, I made a temporary option through the toggle switch. Thank you for your attention to the topic.
