500 Watt PSU enough?

Solution
Yes, you should be fine for now with the old PSU.

You will want to change it in the future though, how long depends on how old it is. I used a 3 year old SeaSonic for almost a year before I got a new one when I upgraded.

You'll want to upgrade it at some point. No matter how good the capacitors are, they will get old and weak eventually. I would recommend a 600W to lessen the strain on it.
