Is Aerocool Vx-500 okay to use with a Gtx 950 (Asus Unplugged Edition) or Gtx 750ti?

Hi Guys, I wanted to buy a gpu to increase the performance of my pc for gaming. I've been wondering if I can still use my current psu (http://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/psu/value-series/vx-500w). And pls check the label in the psu if it can work with a Gtx 950 https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_950/) or a GTX 750 ti (any brand).

My Specs: (Im in a tight budget)
CPU: A8-7600 Cooler: Hyper Cool Fan 120mm
PSU: Aerocool Vx-500 Storage: 1 TB Hard disk
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 gb 1886mhz (P.S I'm using only the integrated graphics)
MOBO: Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X

Aercool power supplies are very poor quality , but it can run the GTX 950 you linked.

as same as the gtx 750ti right?

The 950 will need a little more power than the 750ti. Although the 750ti, 950 and even 960 are considered power misers, do not underestimate them. I've seen a 750ti put a hurt on a very low-quality 450W power supply, 12V down to 11.4V with occasional reboots. Then a GTX960 caused total failure in the same machine, with the 12V rail dropping to 11.2 before giving out. A higher-quality 430W fixed everything. The wattage ratings can be flat-out lies at the low-end. Using an insufficient PSU is never worth the risk, because PSU failures can sometimes be very costly. I honestly have no clue what level of low-end your unit is, but the other poster has it pegged for pretty low-end, it would seem. I would at least keep an eye on the 12V voltage while running something GPU intensive. If it sags more than slightly, upgrade the PSU immediately. If it holds solid, even when the GPU is running at near its power limit, then it's probably OK.

You can also get a slot powered GTX 950 , and then your fine.

ASUS makes a good one.
