Is a 500watts power supply good enough to power a system that needs 475watts?

Like it says will my power supply be enough(The power supply is bronze certified). I am not thinking of overclocking and I got the numbers from http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator on expert.

What are your specs? Calculators are a poor judge of power needs.

Sorry but umm I'd like to see some support..... I'm a little on edge right now just want the desktop to work :/

My bad I missed your 960 , I thought you were upgrading to a 1060.

The 500w EVGA isn't enough to power both cards.

You will need more power to run both.

I just assumed you were upgrading the 960 to the 1060 , you will need just a little more power.
