I'm not sure if you need the extra threads of that CPU, but if this is mostly about GAMING, you should get an i5-4670K instead and put the difference into a better video card such as a GTX770 or R9-280X (I prefer the GTX770 myself).

A quality 500 watt will easily power it. If you plan on upgrading much I'd recommend a 650 watt though. It's always nice to go a little bigger than needed for the psu and to buy quality as it's a very important part of the build and there'd be no concern if you want to go crossfire or upgrade the gpu some day.
