Best CPU for 500W

[BobthePCguy]

Hi all! I'm sorry fro asking so many question

But anyways, I'm building a Pc. ( Obviously) So here it is so far:

GTX 650 Ti
Asrock B75M-DGS
4GB PNY Optima
Some old Optical drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue
Windows 7

My power supply is the Corsair CX500W 80+ Bronze certified. My question is, What are some good CPU's that can run with a 500W power supply?

Originally I was going for the i3 3220 but then seeing as I might need a quad core for the future, I'm thinking about getting the i5 3350P. The one that uses 69W. Is this a good CPU? Are there any other options? ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

You'll run a rig like:

i5 3570k
7950 - 7970 gtx 680
8Gb Ram

Easily it will run, you can check the power draw by using http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ its a calculator for power draw.

But, you do see people who for some reason want like a 1000w psu for a rig I posted above, dont ask lol.

The i5-3350p is a good option, not because of the psu, it will do for any cpu in the market, but because you already have a b75 board, so the i5-3350p is a good choice, since it's a waste getting the i5-3570k for a board that you cannot overclock, and the fact it's the cheapest i5 ivybridge.

Well that makes sense. So the Corsair CX500 should handle the i5 3350P and GTX 650 Ti on full load?

Yes, even with a higher end card, that psu has 38A on its +12v rail which is more than enough for even a 660 ti/670, which requires 24A/30A.
