Is my PSU good enough for MSI N560GTX-TI?

It's an OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W. Not sure if it matters, but here is my current setup.

MSI 870A-G54
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz
XFX HD-585X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5850
Seagate Barracuda 500GB HD
AuzenTech X-Raider 7.1 Soundcard

Everything runs fine. I'm just looking to upgrade my graphics card so I can max out SWTOR.

Recommended PSU for a HD 5850 is 500w. Yours should be sufficient as long as you don't go crazy with OCing it.

He asked for 560ti not a 5850. Yes it will be fine although I would say it's not worth the small upgrade.

Oh whoops, yes the 560 ti has similar power requirements as a 5850. It would not be much of an upgrade at all. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/295?vs=330

If your PSU can handle 5850 then it should capable handling GTX560 Ti as well.
Just like k1114 said above, I wouldn't call it an upgrade going from 5850 to 560 Ti, yes it faster but just a bit...
