    No you need atleast a 650 W Power Supply or more so that it would be quiet
    Go with the Corsair TX - 650W. It has 5 years warranty. It gives a TX 650W silent power supply with its fan 12 cm, but also economically active PFC with a 0.99 and an efficiency close to 85%. Connectivity is no exception, with 8 S-ATA and PCI-Express 2.

    At least 650-700W you need. It runs well, it looks after such other opinions on other brands

    Even a Corsair HX 520 would suffice No need for a small 700w CrossFire. It is not SLI or consumes much. The CrossFire take in less than 300w load. It is still not bad for the rest of the system

    The problem is that the 500W power supply will always be in charge and almost always be limited. Even with a very good gear it will break its days. So better opt for 650W to be not at a risky level.
