Basically I have a 500w CX PSU and running currently a Pentium G3420, R9 270X, 1 140mm fan all running fine playing games such as F1 2014 and Tomb Raider I was wondering to put in some bitfenix alchemy LED and was wondering would my PSU still serfice also I was wondering to install an i5 4590s in a couple of month time aswell.

By the way this build is 3 month old

EDIT: Plus 2 Hard Drive (7200)

Yeah it can handle most of the components just don't overclock anything.

The next upgrade should be the PSU , the CX series' problem lies within the cheap capacitors not the inability to supply enough wattage. Furthermore they are know to fail under heavy load so sticking with stock settings will probably save you the trouble till you get a new quality PSU from Antec,EVGA,XFX or Seasonic.
