Was seeing if my Corsair HX 520 be fine to power 560 along with my i5 2500k ? Or would I be pushing it? I've read few different storys on the power it draws 190-260 @ load. so bit unsure atm, so any information would be helpful.

Thanks.
 
It should be fine.

Pulling only 317w for the whole system here. So gives you some nice headroom.
 
You should be absolutely fine. I don't think your system would exceed 400W under full (unrealistic situation) load even if moderately overclocked so you should still have plenty of headroom as well.
 
You'll be fine. Max power draw for a 2x6 PCI Express power connected graphics card is 225W which leaves you with 300W give or take for the remainder of your system. The SandyBridge CPUs have a comparitively lower power draw when compared with older tech due to it's 32nm process.
 
Thank-you for the replys, just one last thing would I still have room for Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti SUPER OC before I click the buy button? And thanks again for the help
