I was wondering if a CX500 would be good enough to power a GTX760 with GPU Boost 2.0 OC (-_-) and a FX8320?

My GTX760 is OCed but it always seems to go to 1267 no matter what OC i set it too but i think thats GPU Boost 2.0.

My GTX760 is also set to 90% power limit, so 90% of 170w is 150w.

And I might be buying a FX8320 which is 125w CPU.

Would a CX500 be good enough to power this system?

I curently have  a AMD A10 and GTX760, CX500 and its been doing well, but will moving to a more power hungry cpu be cutting it close?

Yes 500w will be fine.

I heard CX500 is not as high quality because its made by Channel Well?

And also since its 80+ gold does it deliver 80% of 500w or does the CX500 deliver the full 500w?

Corsair is good about their products, if it is rated at 500w it will be 500w. Yes it won't be as high quality as their other line ups, but that does not affect the watts it gives out.

Look up 80+ efficiencys on google, it will give you a good idea on what 80+ gold means.

Just a heads up; It is 80+ bronze not gold.
