Hi

What is better XFX Geforce GTX 260 Black Edition or XFX Geforce GTX 275 ?

and will the both work fine on Power Supply Hec 500 Watt ?

The GTX275 is better, because it can be overclocked like the GTX260.

Which HEC PSU is it? Most of them are garbage but a few are almost OK. If it's the typical $30 model that Newegg sells, it would choke trying to run either video card. I wouldn't trust it.

Well the Black Edition GTX260 is overclocked from the factory, so if you go that route you can't avoid it. All things considered, however, the 275 would still be a better choice since they both probably cost about the same. You could also look into ATI and check out the 5770 or 5850

Personally, I wouldn't trust that HEC, but that's just my opinion. From the looks of it, it is an active PFC unit with a pair of 25A rails, but I don't put much confidence in their ratings. Their reputation isn't the best, and I just wouldn't chance it.
