Don't go with CX series of Corsair, budget oriented PSU's, not good enough in stressful situations, mixed caps with Taiwanese and Chinese rated @ 30/40C.
Go with the EVGA one or you can get this, solid as a rock.

Just making sure the Evga will have all the connections I'll need. Thanks for the input everyone. Much appreciated.
Yes that has all the connectors you need, but that's not a decent PSU.
1. EVGA SuperNova G2 1000W and 1300W TIER 1
2. EVGA SuperNova NEX B 500 TIER 3
EVGA SuperNova NEX G 750
EVGA SuperNova NEX 1500 Classified
Rest of the models are just crap, your model originally is a 480W PSU not 500W.
Go with the one I suggested above.
