Hey guys, thanks in advance for the help. I'm looking to buy a gtx650 for my Gateway DX4870
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2046301/review-gateways-dx4870-ub2c-is-an-affordable-workhorse-desktop.html
but I believe the power supply wont be enough, so I've picked out the Diablotek DA Series PSDA500 500W ATX Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817822008&cm_re=500watt_psu-_-17-822-008-_-Product
My question is whether the gtx 650 and power supply I picked out are compatible with my system, and if the power supply is good enough. Thanks for the help

Diablowtek power supplies have been known to explode , and are some of the worst power supplies on the market.

Don't go to cheap on your PSU otherwise you risk damage to your other components.

Here is a quality power supply at a great price.
