That is my build and I have ordered all parts including a Sapphire R9 280x, my question is will the 500W PSU be good enough for my GPU and other parts? Or should I return my PSU and order a better one with higher wattage.

I am not looking to overclock or any additional actions.

I would advice against a Corsair CX or VS series PSU. Corsair CX and VS PSUs use lower quality capacitors which tend to die around the warranty end period. I would advise to get a 500W Seasonic, Be quiet! (Avoid their gaming series), Corsai AX, TX, HX, RM series, XFX Pro/Core series, Rosewill Capstone, Enermax Thriathlor, Cooler Master VSM (and only VSM, other Cooler Master PSUs are very bad). There are just on tip of my mind.
