Is it a good idea to use a Nvidia 560ti with an ATX XG-P500 psu, 500 watts. I know there are a few different models of the 560ti like the PNY or EVGA but from the looks of their specs, they all seem the same so are there any differences? If they are different, which would work best with my psu. Thanks a bunch!

I also have 8gb DDR3 ram
AMD FX-4100 cpu
My current gpu is a nvidia 520

thanks again

why not there should be no issues unless your psu doesn't have power cables for the card but even then the gpu should come with some converters so there is really no reason for it not to work, so yes it is a good idea and the cards are basicly the same its only better cooling on the oc ones
 
The wattage of the psu is not the question, it's the amps available on the 12v rail and the quality of the psu.

Look on the side of the psu and see what the specs are for the 12v rail(s). Also note make and model of the psu and then post back results.

I believe your psu is made by Xtreme Gear which is a very low quality brand.

Sorry I have been gone a while :) It is extremegear. My psu doesn't have the 6 pin connectors required for the card so I will need a different card.
