According to realhardtechx, NOX's units are made by CWT who also make many of Corsair's units. However, NOX's units seem to only have 2 year warranty, which doesn't put them in a very good light IMO, and the NX series lack efficiency certification as well (which may also mean they lack Active PFC...). I would stay away from NOX.

CX500 should handle that hardware fine, but I would honestly prefer some other unit with longer warranty and better quality caps. Where are you buying from? Maximum budget?

Decent pick, as long as you didn't overpay for it relative to Seasonic S12II, XFX Core and others with 5 year warranty and Japanese caps.
