Hey, I'm thinking about a new video card. My CPU is intel core i3 530. Will it handle geforce gtx 560 ti?

Yep. I don't it will hold the 560 back. Of course, faster is
always better
550w is cutting is pretty close, but it should do nicely.
The 560ti is at least 9" (23cm) long. Make sure it will fit.
