Hi. I'm building a new system:
Core i5-4670K
Thermalright Macho Rev.A
ASRock H87 Performance
Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB Kit
MSI GTX 760 Gaming 2GB
Plextor M5 Pro 128GB SSD
1xHDD 5400 rpm
1xHDD 7200 rpm
Fractal Design Define R4

Also there will be one PCI-E audio card (ESI Juli@ XTe) & USB WiFi adapter. I will overclock CPU a little (4, maybe 4.2GHz). I won't overclock memory or video and don't plan to upgrade to SLI setup. Currently I tend to buy OCZ Silencer MK III 500W (I want to build quiet system). Is 500W PSU enough to power such system?

if you want to build quiet system look elsewhere ,
ocz silencer III has good build quality from seasonic and japanese capacitors
but somewhat louder fan especialy under heavier loads...

i would reccomend new corsair RM 550w or superflower golden green 550w for your purposes ...
first one has modular cables and the fan is not spinning at all up until 40% load ...
second one has very quiet fan even under heavy loads but hardwired cables ,
however it is cheaper and the build quality is very solid...

I don't see Superflower PSU's in our country and Corsair RM models are not here yet. What about OCZ ZS and ZT 550W PSUs?

ocz silencer MK III is better than both ...
ZS 550w has solid build quality but the fan is noisy too... but don´t get me wrong if you are building mid range gaming system with air coolers to cool the processor and the graphics card + some additional case fans , the fan noise of this power supply would be very hard to spot... your system during gaming will take about 300w from the wall and the fan is relatively silent up to 400w load...
