Hey wise people

 

I thinking about upgrading my PC instead of saving up for a new one. I wanna upgrade my GPU, but for that I obviously need a better PSU. I´m thinking of getting the MSI Radeon R7 370 G4 Gaming, and the Corsair CX 500W PSU. The card requires a 6 pin PCI-e power connector, but I can´t seem to find that listed under the PSU information page, or maybe I´m  just blind :P the links are below so if someone could tell me if the PSU will work for the said video card, that would be great :) 

 

Also my current CPU is a AMD A10 6700 Quad Core 3.70 GHz processor, and my current video cards are AMD Radeon HD 8670D and a R7 240 card configuered as Dual Graphics (basically the same as CrossFire), and I´m wondering if my CPU will cause a bottleneck if I purchase the MSI card, since it´s like 4x better than my current video cards?

The corsair CX series will make your PC a smoke machine.

No it won't. It's a fine for when you are on a budget. It's just as likely to cause problems as any other average bronze 500w. You want a smoke machine you go with diablotek.
