500W PSU will be overkill for your system.
your system is not going to consume more than 400W power.
Seasonic SS400BT will be enough for your system, this is a 80+ Bronze Certified PSU or else you can use Corsair CX 430 which is also a very good PSU.
you can even upgrade your GPU later with this PSU.
and why are you going to buy GT 610 ?

The GT 610 graphics card is worse than the integrated graphics of the FX-6300. You are better off not using this card at all.
A 500W power supply is heaps for this system (much more than you need), but be wary of cheap brands.
Suggested supplies:
Seasonic S12II 430 - ok with graphics cards up to Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon 7850
Seasonic G 360 - ok with graphics up to AMD Radeon HD 7790 or Nvidia GTX 650 Ti (not the boost edition)
Corsair CX 430 - Same support as S12II 430 above, but the quality is not as good

This is just the specs that come with the computer I am ordering off of Newegg, I was wondering if the Power Supple would be enough because I have looked up reviews of this computer and many people are saying that the power supply blew out in less than a week.

Ouch! Maybe you should buy another kind of computer. The PSU may be large enough but low quality...

It looks very pretty, but I don't like the reviews saying it's very loud :( 

I guess the PSU is a Raidmax, because the case is made by Raidmax. That's seriously bad news (tier 5).

The PSU is more than enough, but would recommend buying one from a trusted brand. Definitely would recommend corssair.

Oh that's no good! Do you think this one will do? I have a small budget to work with
