Will a Corsair CX500 PSU be enought to power up this graphic card?

The CX500 isn't the best PSU, but it will run a single 660. SLI may be a different answer

I don't see why not - my alienware x51 has only a 330 watt power adapter and it works just fine with this card.

No, I wouldn't recommend you use this card with such low PSU. If you can't upgrade your power supply I would go with a 7750 instead. It would be better if you upgraded the power supply and buy a better card than either though.

It really depends on your graphics card. I have this, 8GB of RAM, and a Radeon HD7770 with a 550W power supply and it's plenty.

Yes, 500 watts should be more than enough. Make sure that you use a decent brand name PSU.As mentioned below, if you are running a massive overclock on the CPU or try to overclock the GPU then you might run into some issues. On stock clocks and with a normal build you should be absolutely fine.

No, a minimum of 500 watt power supply is needed and a 650 watt power supply is recommended by XFX.

You want a reputable PSU that supplies 500 watts minimum. Yours should be fine. You will need a 6 pin PCI-e power adapter to power this card though. Some cards come with one. Before you buy, ask the seller if it includes the adapter that changes the 4-pin molex to 6-pin PCI-e power. If not, you can buy an adapter for a couple bucks on the internet.

it depends on the rest of your system but this GPU isn't a power hungry . only uses 65watts max so it do'll find on a 300 watt PUS :D

You will need about 150 watts of power and a spare 6-pin PCIe power connector on your PSU. It looks like you're using a Corsair 80+ 430 watt PSU, so it should cover these.It all depends what other components you have in your system. It looks like you could with something like an Intel Core i3 or an AMD FX-4300, with a fair amount of buffer.A good place to get an estimate of how much power your PC needs would be PC Part Picker (just google it).

Should Work for normal usage, though I doubt the 460W PSU will provide enough juice for the card with intensive graphics use.

No, I would recommend at least a high efficiency 450 or 500 Watt, it may power up but you can damage the card with not providing it enough power or damage your mother board. You may find some calculator that says other wise but I wouldn't risk it. (I burned up this same card and ruined my mother board pcie slot, not for running to little power but my power supply shorted giving unstable power, to little power would be unstable.

the specs on this card's webpage say the minimum wattage power supply required is a 450W, however if your power supply is of low quality (many are) 500W probably wouldn't be enough. personally, i would upgrade to a 600W just in case, and also so that there is more room for power in the future.

The card calls for 550watt power supply minimum on the box. I run a Corsair TX650 to power it and my hardware with a i5-3570k CPU. I think a 750watt would work well if you want at least that. :)

It doesnt require a power connector from psu, draws its power straight through the motherboard. Not sure about power requirements, i have a 480 watt psu and im running lots of accessories off it with no problems- tower with illuminated panels and cooling fans, neon light in tower, auxiliary blower motor, and sound card. system is a second gen i5 cpu w/ 8 gigs ram. You should be ok, unless you start putting all these lights into it.

It depends on how many other things you have in your system, but 850w should be more than enough. I'm running my card on a 550 W PSU right now. As long as you have the needed power connections off your psu you are golden.

It should be but 460w PSU is cutting it close. Couple of things to consider:1: it's a big, thick and long card, make sure it will fit in your case.2: it takes 2 PCIx power connectors from your PSU. There are PCIx to molex adapters if needed. Most cards actually ship with them but just know this.3: make sure you have an available PCIx X16 slot available. This thing takes up 2 slots on your motherboard. Again, just know this and make sure you have the space.Other than that it is a great video card, even by today's standards (10-2014)

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

No, you would need something more like the Corsair RM850 to sufficiently power this dual GPU card.
