Is the cx500 good for my gtx670. The total watts of my setup on load would probs be like 350watts checked it on the calculaters. 

Iv heard that the cx500 apparently is not for gaming or capacitors are bad is this true.

Online wattage calculators are not to be trusted.

 

That said, 500 watts is plenty, but

The CX500, being an old green label model CX instead of the modern grey label, has some flaws in its design, including being built on an outdated platform. Not catastrophically bad, and if you already have one, I can't say you desperately need to replace it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
