Will a Corsair CX500 PSU do the job?

Solution
that FX 9590 is an absolute power hungry monster. why not go for the I7 4790k?
id suggest 550W as a comfortable slot, if you're overclocking then 500W might not cut it.
check out the xfx 550W core bronze + rated unit. its a cheap great bang for the buck PSU with seasonic as its original OEM - who are the best in the business.

Will the XFX 550W be enough? http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1417095364&sr=1-1&keywords=xfx+550
Is that a good enough price for it?

Hi again!
My motherboard is an ASRock N68-VS3 FX... Can I run Intel i7 on that?
Also, I've just took a quick look at the 4790k and it's so much more expensive than the 9590.
9590: £168.38 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GPJFEJC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=GQZS2YNMPRQR&coliid=I3IDMEAU0MD7V6
4790k: £242.50 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Socket-LGA-1150/dp/B00KPRWAX8/ref=sr_1_53?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1417122658&sr=1-53&keywords=4790k

That mobo will only support 95w fx Cpus, or in other words 81xx series or upto fx6300 at best, so dreams of a 9590 are gone, you can't do it. For any of the better cpus you'd have to get a new motherboard anyways.
Right now, the most versatile are the z97 paired with i5 or i7 for Intel, and fx990 paired with 83xx for AMD.
