This will have all the cords I need right?

It should have all the cables you need, but then again, I'm not sure of your system specs.

 

As for whether or not it's a good PSU, it's an acceptable purchase for an entry level PSU. If you can live without modularity, for $10 more (or same price after MIR), the Rosewill Capstone 550w is a better build / performing unit that also has a longer 7 year warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068

It would help to list your specs.

A cx500m would be fine for that.

Terve!

I'm pretty late to the party, but I run several Corsair PSUs (a AX 750, an AX 760, an AX 1200 and my friend has a GS700) and I never had problems with them.

So, I think that this is a good option. I do not know Rosewill though. So I cannot tell you, if this one is the better way to go due to the longer warranty.

Also: If you want to go Crossfire in the future you will need adapters, but I don't think that this will happen. Other  than that you should have all the connectors you need.

Sayonara!
