Hope I didn't post this in the wrong section...

Anyways, I want to buy an RX 480 in the future, as my GTX 960 is starting to suffer nowadays with its 2GB vram buffer even at 1080p. I was wondering if my PSU can handle one comfortably for now. If it doesn't, then suggestions would be great. If I need a new PSU, the budget is around $100.

The PSU is an EVGA 500W 80+ White Certified power supply. It has served me well so far.

Rest of the specs:
CPU: i5 4460 @ 3.2 GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600 Crucial Ballistix Sport
Mobo: MSI B85M-G43
S/HDD(s): Samsung 850 Evo 250gb, 1TB WD Caviar Blue, 4TB Seagate SSHD
GPU: EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB

Yep indeed.

Awesome. And hey, if the 650w is only $5 more...
+ more room for future upgrades (but rx 480 will probably be enough for my 1080p60 gaming)
