Okay so im running a gtx 760 and need a new psu to go along with it as currently i have a tier 5 dynex that will likely cause my computer to explode. Im looking for a minimum of 500W, unfortunately I must shop off of amazon.com and I am living in Canada so my choices are limited. I have come to you good people with the task to quickly look over this link and tell me if any of these are adequate or are a waste of my time. If worse comes to worse i will go for the cx-500 though I dont really want to spend 70$ on top of the 280$ gpu. So would any of the cheaper ones be worth it or would they pose too large a threat ? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?keywords=power+supply&qid=1391305037&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A193870011%2Cn%3A1161760%2Ck%3Apower+supply%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6906984011%2Cp_n_shipping_option-bin%3A3242350011&sort=price
 
Do you have to use Amazon? Canada has some nice computer store choices. This would be the one I would buy

Off of the Amazon link I wouldn;t even get the CX500 as they use cheaper parts. I would pay $5 more and get the Rosewill Capstone

or if you had more money the Seasonic 550
