What kind of 500w PSU ? depending on which you buy depends on the quality you get, 500w will be enough to power this system but some bad PSU's dont output the full wattage labeled.

Look for a PSU from Seasoinc, XFX, EVGA, or Antec. Last part to go cheap on is the part that can fry everything else.
