Will a Corsair CX500M support a FX 8320 and r9 270 on stock speeds?

I already have the PSU and would like to not have to buy another one right now to build this. I do plan on overclocking but later and I will plan on buying a quality high wattage PSU went i do just not right now?

The CPU and GPU at stock speed should draw around 275W when both are at full load. Factor in a few drives, fans, etc. and you'll be fine.

That said, I'd urge you to steer clear of the Corsair CX/CS PSUs, as the internal components are not of the best quality. I recently ditched a CX750M because it developed horrendous fan noise after just a few months. If you can, buy an XFX, which are essentially rebadged Seasonics.

Yes the CX500M will support & is sufficient for your current setup.
