The GTX470 requires a 550w psu with 38a on the 12v lines, according to EVGA.
Your psu is 500w, with 36w on the 12v lines.
It is close enough to give it a shot. Nothing really bad will happen if it is barely not enough. Look for display anomalies particularly under load while gaming.
I would be prepared to change the psu out if you get any indication of trouble.
My short list of quality replacements would come from PC P&C, XFX,Corsair, Seasonic, And Antec, to name a few.
