I think it fits your build pretty good. C'mon, it's Corsair.

Hi, so I'm building a gaming pc and somewhere in this forum someone said that the cx500 where bad. So, what would it be a good replacement? (oh, and I will be using a i5 4440 and a gtx650 ti boost)

basicly anything above 430watt will run that anyways just look for a good brand

The CX 500 is a perfectly fine PSU. Don't listen to them.

Being an entry level PSU, it's not a great PSU, but it isn't such a terrible PSU that will explode or hazardous for your system either. The CX500v3 is fine for your system, if you are looking for something that is inexpensive. Even the CX430v3 would do for that matter.

Yeah, the XFX I had mentioned would be good for your system. It's a Seasonic S12II Bronze unit internally and is build better than the CX430-600. I would go with one of these with a €60 budget.
