For my computer I have currently have:
AMD A10-5800k
500 GB Seagate HDD
CD-ROM
1x of a 4 GB DDR3
Motherboard is F2A75M-D3H
msi R7 250
and a 500 watt power supply thermaltake
And I was just wondering is 500 watt enough or do I have to get more?

500 watt psu is more than enough, though at least get a corsair cx instead of thermaltake

Well, I already have the 500 watt power supply already for almost a year now, just added the r7 250. If you recommend corsair cx, then maybe I'll get it. What would you recommend for a cooling for the CPU, I still have the stock one on it. But my budget is around 200 at the moment.

like i said, the thermaltake is fine, but before you upgrade anything else i'd recommend spending a nice amount on the psu. and for cpu cooling i'd recommend the coolermaster 212 evo as it is cheap and effective :)

One last question, with all of these and the future PSU and cooling that I'm going to get, would I be set up for TitanFall or other FPS games?

the 250 isn't the strongest gpu, and your apu is fairly weak. make sure you try to use dual graphics (kinda like crossfire) and if you can, then you will be set for gaming
