I have a Standard bench, bar, and weights. Been wanting an Olympic bench because I like the support rack on the outside of my grip.
Can I use the Standard Bar on an Olympic Bench?

If your going to make a change go all the way to a power rack and an olympic bar and weights.
My standard weights don't fit my power rack and I think the width is the same as a olympic bench.
The power rack give you safety at a reasonably cheap price for more than just the bench press...

Check Craigslist. I've seen a lot of sets going for $200-250 that included all the things the OP wanted.  Low-ball and wait.

Usually the standard bar is too short to fit the rests on a bench made for olympic bars. The part where the weight plates go would be inside the rests of the bench.
