I was planning on getting finally my build:

AMD FX 8350 (8 CORE-PROCESSOR)

GTX760 2GB

CORSAIR (2X4GB) = 8GB

I SAW A COOLER MASTER CASE WITH 500W PREINSTALLED.

Is 500w enough for my build?

I might overclock both gpu and cpu.

Please don't! I love coolermaster cases but their PSU's are if not crap, then at least not trust worthy. They have a terrible reputation for not giving you what you paid for. I have had enough crashed PSU's to always recommend that you go a little higher that you expect that you will need.

For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the non-Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 8-pin (e.g. ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC) or two 8-pin (e.g. MSI GTX 760 HAWK) or one 6-pin and one 8-pin (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC, EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX Cooler, MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming) PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

What's the model number of that Cooler Master 500W PSU?
