Pros: I wrote one review already, so condsider this an update. It's really a reply for @master's p/s question. Over a year now and the card still does what is was built to do. BF3, The Witcher 2, Skyrim, all look fantastic and run great. (I usually enable vsync so the games run at ~60fps the entire time, (BF3 on High, 1680x1050, slows to a low of 45 at times on well populated, large 64 player maps.)
Cons: Runs hot...over 90 degrees when I don't have the A/C on and the room is 70+ degrees, depending on the game being played...The Witcher 2 w/o vsync on (read: over 60 fps) will skyrocket the temp to 95+...with vsync on (read: 60 fps) it's in the low 80s w/o any room air conditioning. With A/C on, it's rarely above low 80s and usually the highest is mid 70s when gaming. 40 or less at idle even without A/C.
Overall Review: @master...I had a 610W Silencer (pc power and cooling) p/s that ran my 570 equipped system for about 3 months...then the p/s died. It was almost 2 years old. The 910 I replaced it with hasn't had a problem yet. I'd guess your 500w p/s (if it's a GOOD p/s) will run the 570, but it will be pushing it hard so expect failure at any time. I'd get a larger power supply if I were you.
