I am ordering this build in a few days and wanted to make sure that my power supply was enough. Any advice would be appreciated!
Case:Aerocool V3X
CPU:AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
RAM:HyperX 2x4GB 1866mHz
MOBO:Gigabyte 970A-DS3P Motherboard AMD-970 Chipset
GPU:Sapphire Radeon R9 270x Dual-X OC Edition
HDD: a 1TB HDD
PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Suppl
Will this be enough? I entered all these components to a PSU calculator and it said minimum wattage was 330w but recommended is 380w but I dont know if this is accurate or not.

That is more than enough, that PSU is plenty for that build you have nothing to worry about - i would expect at max loads even with overclocks on the CPU and GPU to not see more than 400w usage.

I thought TDP wasnt the actual power consumption?

It isn't, but it's closely related. It actually specifies how much heat the cooler should be designed to dissipate. But that heat comes from the electrical power, so... yeah.
