I have a Corsair CX500 PSU right now running i5 3470 with a Seagate 1TB 7200rpm and 2 fans.
I will possibly add in a SSD later on. And I won't overclock at all.
So if I added a GTX 670 into my system, would it run? or do I need a beefier power supply?
Thanks!

you should be fine with 500W, the 670 only uses 170W of power (according to geforce.com)... my radeon HD 6870 pulls 140W and i was using a 400W supply (my system was overclocked quite a bit too)

Nvidia says that you can but it is the bare minimum that I would put a GTX 670 in.
The bit you want is about three quaters down the page.

thanks guys!
Do you have any suggestions for which 670 card to get for under $400?
I don't mind whether is reference or non-renference.
