Hey guys I'm new to the forums so its good to be here and thank you all in advance! I was looking to upgrade to the GTX 560

( Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1464-KR GeForce GTX 560 SE (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card)

from a gt 520 and I'm not sure if I need a new power supply. My current one is 500W. This is my current build it's a cyberpower with a lit case:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

System Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model M68MT-S2
System Type x64-based PC
Processor AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Award Software International, Inc. FB, 8/26/2011
SMBIOS Version 2.4
Ram: 8gb DDR3
 
The 500w is fine. But I would not trust a no name or unknown brand of PSU.

Does it have the correct lead.
 
there are alot of negative reviews around about the xtreme gear psu's failing and taking other pc components with it. Id advise changing it to the corsair cx500 (or another trusted psu brand.)
