What do you guys think about the FSP Aurum Gold 500W? Is it a good psu?

My system right now is

Pentium G3240

4GB RAM

1TB WD Blue

Nvidia 9500 GT

Do you think the PSU can handle

Future i5k processor and a gtx 760 or 960/970?

Thanks

FSP is a trusted brand AFAIK...

Yep, but I'd go 600W.

600W is what I'd get for some headroom...

I had an older GXS 600W powering my file server for the past four years. Before that, it was in a gaming system for three years. Due to its age, it was retired for a new unit. I never had an issue with an FSP unit, and their OEM power supplies are rock solid.

760's use <200W. 970's use ~145W or so. 960's will probably use less than the 970. You don't need 500W even.

 

Also, FSP is not a good brand, but they are a common brand. They make lots of fairly cheap "ok" power supplies for lots of brands.

The Hexa isn't a very good series. Not 80Plus certified with 2-3year warranty, non-modular. It's a budget series.
