My Main recommendation:

500w isn't enough for your gpu and cpu. The GPU alone crecommends 700+w, plus your power-hungry CPU.

And, if that's out of budget, here's a secondary option. Better than most off-hand PSU's, I'd say...

A Radeon HD 7950 needs 25 amps on the 12v rail and a 500 watt power supply.
