[Filip Trusk]

Hello. I want to know is this psu good for gaming 500W ENERMAX NAXN Basic Series, ATX 2.3, aktivan PFC, 120mm ventilator, crno. pc is: CPU: Intel i5 4590 3.30 ghz GPU: ASUS GTX 960 WINDFORCE 8 GB RAM 1600 MHZ

I probably wouldn't suggest that PSU, but it's good enough if you already have it. The GPU will draw 160W or less at peak load and the +12V rail provides 34A.

OK,I would go with an 8320 or even a 6300 if it allows for a better GPU though (r9 280x or similar)

For gaming the FX-8320 or FX-8350 is not as good as an Intel i5-4590, but you already knew that if you checked benchmarks. An AMD CPU is a good buy only if you can't afford an Intel CPU. In the cost difference take into account the required cooler and more expensive motherboard if you want/need to overclock it to improve gaming performance.
