No, because of the slow gpu, you could get by with a 500watt, but I recommend getting this power supply
Cx 600:http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Watt-CX600/dp/B0092ML0OC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403371798&sr=8-1&keywords=cx600

Is this a gaming pc, or not?

Yes..... you will be able to play games at very very low settings at 1080p with unacceptable frame rates. Go for atleast an r7 260x or r7 265, or a gtx 750ti/gtx 760. Save some money on the power supply and go with an xfx 550w.

XFX 550W Bronze:http://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403381142&sr=8-1&keywords=xfx+550
 


I would stick with the 650W corsair PSU, as you never wat to just limit your future upgrade compatability, if you can get a 650W PSU and your happy, get it, as in the long run the power supply is more efficient and you have headroom for an upgrade later on.

Yeah, actually get the components, and get all the high end parts with a sub-par gpu, and then when you have enough buy like a gtx 770 or an r9 290
