Ya, the PSU is enough. But do post your full configuration like details of CPU, Motherboard etc.

Unless you plan on overclocking your psu is fine.

Your PSU is good enough for mild overclocking too. CX500 will deliver you upto 450W without sweat. Avoid extreme overclocking like changing voltages, bumping frequencies to sky high.

P.S. : hell, i used to Run GTX 560 ti (OC) edition on Corsair CX400 along with components in my rig. :)

Spend more and buy HD 7850. HD 7850 is 15% faster than GTX 560 Ti and uses half the power.

HD 7850 is very power efficient, so it will work on your Corsair 500w PSU. :)

Some 560 Ti cards are coming in at 900MHz clock. Those are slightly better than HD 7850, but it's probably a better deal to just get 7850 because it is more power efficient and costs less compared to the 560 Ti at 900MHz.

If money is of no concern, get HD 7850 else your PSU is perfectly fine. No need to upgrade your PSU, waste of money IMO.

But it will be better if one can call them before buying. As for itwares sometimes they don't update their website with latest price.

^^ A bit OT: At this point of time, just forget about flipkart. They are selling all the PC components at a very high price and to make things worse, they are selling some components beyond or near to the MRP.
Only a pricing mistake can make those components worthy of buying.

^^ buying from there saved you from walking for a new WD HDD on the hot summer - remember ?? ;-)

Anyway, some pc products are still available there at a reasonable price and for those people who think it's Ok to pay extra for getting a product from there - it's just fine for them.

I remember one guy ordered something from itdepot and after placing the order they said they don't have the product with them anymore and bitfang did this with Cilus ( shipped wrong product ) and made the excuse of non availability later - website of MD comp not gets updated very frequently - FP is still little better than those and their 30 days Gurantee service is just awesome ;-)

if you can get the HD7850 Power Edition - costs around ~17k - this one is the best HD7850 on the market IMO.

HD7850 2GB is superior to GTX560Ti. Look for Gigabyte Windforce OC version for a cheap and best HD7850. Else Sapphire, but it will be expensive.
Prices are -

MSI GTX560Ti - 13.5k
Gigabyte HD7850 2GB - 15.5k

Moreover, HD7850 takes up a lot less power than GTX560Ti, approximately equal to HD6850. So the bottom line is, your PSU will get less sweaty when running a 7850 as compared to running GTX560Ti on that PSU.

Gigabyte HD7850 has OC limitation of upto 1050 Mhz - the best possible HD7850 is HD7850 Power Edition though the cost is high - around ~17k

Jumping from GTX 560 to HD7850 = 6.5K Price rise. If OP can afford then its great.
Second best thing is GTX560Ti @ 13.5k = 2.5K Price Rise.
Both will run fine on a Cosair 500W. So its your call.

If you can spend extra money on a HD 7850. donot think it would be of much use getting a Ti version for 2.5k more.

THere shouldn't be any comparison between 7850 & 560ti. Cause,
1. 560ti consumes more power than 7850.
2. 7850 is new gen card, thus power efficient.

Now considering the small price difference between 560ti & 7850, I think OP should buy 7850.

^^ I was just pointing to the cheapest possible GTX 560 Ti available and Forsa is a god company with 3 years warranty but at Rs. 384 extra the Zotac GTX 560 Ti is a vfery god dealwhich has clck speed and warranty period advantage - so Op should opt for the Zotac GTX 560 Ti ( the one you mentioned ).

A PnP has a VGA port right, if so, you can get a DVI to VGA port and it should work. Not sure though. :razz:

Correction on the "DVI" part. It is best to be specific. :)

Above is D-Sub aka VGA.
Below is DVI-D.

DVI-D to VGA is not possible. DVI-I to VGA is possible.

DVI-D only carries digital signal. DVI-I carries both Digital and Analog signal.
Thanks guys.... friends......... Does HD 7850 has a connection port for Generic PnP Monitor?

HD 7850 has a DVI-I (Dual Link) port.

The 4 squarish pins on the left side you are seeing carry VGA/Analog signal. If you'll buy a DVI-I to VGA cable and connect it to your monitor, your monitor will work.

I have a HD 6950. It also lacks a VGA port. I'm using DVI-I to VGA cable to use my monitor and it works.

no need to buy a connector/cable - most of the gfx cards ( like HD7850 ) comes with at-least one DVI-VGA connector.

here's box content of Sapphire HD7850 ;-)
