Hello, I'm new to the community and I have a question about finding the right PSU for the new graphics card to upgrade my computer.

I recently ordered a EA 500W because it seems to match for the GTX 560 since on Nvidia's website states the card's minimum power supply requirement was at least 450W.

I'm still unsure if the EA-500W is enough to run the other components of my desktop:
-AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3.4Ghz) QuadCore Black Edition (AM3 Socket)
-4GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1333MHz
-A DVD-ROM (unless this component doesn't matter)
-800 GB Hard Drive (Didn't remember the name of the brand but I'm sure it's a SATA 3.5 7200RPM)

So anyway, I'll be looking forward to your answers and thank you for your suggestions in advance.

Yeah, a 500W PSU is definitely enough for that.. I used to run my HD 7870 Crossfire (2 cards) on a 600W PSU without any problems what so ever, while getting the expected performance (if you wonder, now I have a 1600W PSU). So, don't worry, 500W are enough!
