There is nothing wrong with that psu, but corsair uses cheaper capacitors in the cx series but as I mentioned your system doesnt draw that much power even when completely at load. Not going to be an issue for you

Should run fine but might be an idea to lean towards a higher quality PSU for the components you have in there.

Your Power supply :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cx%20500&sprefix=cx+500%2Caps

Far better Power Supply :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-PRO750W-Edition-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0045L4BJ6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411204343&sr=8-3&keywords=xfx+650

Good Luck :)

750W is overkill for his system,a quality 550W PSU will be able to run it.

Yes but there are better PSU's. The CX series are not what I'd consider a good quality psu. A better choice would be the XFX 550w or a 500-600w Seasonic.

There are also great PSU's by Antec, Rosewill and EVGA but the models priced similarly to the cx tend to be of similar quality (like the Antec VS series which is similar to the cx in quality)

Yes but that 750w is currently on sale and from experience it is a fantastic piece of kit.
It would cost him just £10 extra to get 200w extra power along with a Power supply that will last under very high load.

From a price performance perspective its superior.

It is totally fine. the entire system at load is maybe 310 watts full load so the cx 500 is just fine. despite everyone saying othewise ive used them in 5 or 6 builds and they all worked just fine don't let people try to say they suck because they do not they simply use lesser capacitors which is fine in situations like yours where at load you are using around 60% of the rated wattage that means the psu isnt really being stressed.

thank you all! i just want to stay i 500/520 (seasonic) but i dont know,..why cx500w are bad psu? i never heard the corsiar made a bad products?
seasonic is too expensive in seires s12,m12! and xfx,evga 500w series is no one in my country!

i have two choice :
1. Corsair CX500W
2. Rosewill Hive 550 (i dont think this one is good? what do you think about this guys?)
