I'm thinking about upgrading my video card after Christmas but I need to know if I should also upgrade my psu, so I can work out how much I'll need to spend.
The build will be:
MOBO: M5A97 LE R2.0
CPU: AMD 6350x (stock speed)
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
GPU: AMD 380 4GB (currently 260x)
PSU: Corsair CX500
1x 60GB SSD
1x 500GB HDD 7200rpm

It's very close to the 500W I'd go with a 550W or 600W PSU.

You need to be careful with EVGA. Only about 60% of their units are actually good enough to justify buying.
