Is 500W PSU enough for my system?

I have AMD FX-8320 on ASUS M5A78L LE motherboard, AMD R7 260 GPU, 7200 32mb 1TB and 3x 120mm and 2x 80mm coolers wich are removed from PSU's. I used various calculators and they all showed me different counts... Is Deepcool DA500M gonna do ?
 
Solution
^---Yup, that's a great quality one and usually at a decent price.

I'd still be a bit worried about the mobo personally though. I don't believe it will handle the 8320 for very long especially if you are trying to play watchdogs (intensive game)

Since you got it for $10, it's ok, but just know your computer might shut off one day and not turn back on. I'd think it'd be the motherboard and you'd have to replace it and it'd be fine.

Just always good to know :)

I cant find any other than CoolerMaster and deepcool ones here in my country, and i can get 2 years warranty on the DA500 and 3 years on B series from CM RS-500.

The VP 450 will run the 8320 and the r7 260x but you should probably get the vp 450 instead of the vp 550 since you will need the money to buy a new motherboard when the 8320 causes the motherboard to melt on the first day since it is only rated for a 95 W processor whereas the 8320 is a 125 W processor.

You might be able to lengthen the life of the motherboard by turning off turbocore in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, but I am not sure if it will help the situation.
