the PSU is : EVGA 500B 500W 80Plus Bronze

this is the spec of the system I am building :

Intel Core i5 4670k
MSI Z87-G43 Gaming
AMD Radeon R9-270X
8GB G-Skill Ram
500GB HDD

is this enough to power the rig ? cause I saw guys build PCs using a high end GPU but a low wattage PSU.

The EVGA 500B power supply is a budget one , but decent.

If you can afford get this XFX , made by the best SEASONIC , buy it , the XFX linked in the post above isn't Haswell compatible but this one is.

XFX or EVGA doesn't produce PSU they just put their label and sell that PSU under their brand.
XFX OEM manufacturer is Seasonic. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913-6.html
