GTX 670 on a 500W power supply

I just wanted to know if a GTX 670 would work on my 500W psu. The thing is that my PSU is kinda cheap, it's a Cooler Master B500, I don't have any problems with it now, because my current card takes 80W less power, but I might buy an used GTX 670 for a price of a new Gtx 750Ti here. I am not really planning on changing my PSU though. Should I just get the 670 or save like 70euro more to get a new GTX 960 that doesn't take a lot of power? The GTX 670 is similar to the 960 in performance.

670 uses about 200W so you should be fine.
