Hey, people. I'm new here and I was wondering if I could buy a Corsair CX500 watt for my GTX 560 Ti that has been laying around here. I couldn't install the GTX 560 Ti, because my PSU was too low. That's why I'm getting a new PSU.

This is the graphics card that I'm willing to install.

Is the Corsair CX500 good because my budget is 60$/Euros

Thanks.

EDIT: Is it also possible to get the Cooler Master B600 watt for my GPU?

Yes the Corsair CX500 is a good budget PSU and is enough for a GTX-560-Ti.

Stay away from Crapper Master, their PSUs are terrible. For example:

If your budget allows it, you could step up for a Corsair TX650 or even better, the HX650. These are very solid PSUs that can run any single card even the most powerful. So it means that for any future upgrades you won't have to change your PSU again with one of these two.
