Recently built a PC, and have been upgrading. Do I need to upgrade the PSU? or is mine enough.

Specs:
AMD A8 6600k
16GB Corsair XMS3
XFX R9 285 2GB
WD Caviar Blue SATA 1TB
Samsung DVD-Rom Drive
5 Rosewill White LED Case Fans
Thermaltake TR2 500W PSU
Razer Naga 2014
External WD 500GB HD

Is 500W Enough? Most sites have come out with a number of 410-420 watts needed.
Thanks!

My opinion: Your current PSU is fine. Your system probably pulls less than 400w fully loaded and I doubt you will run it fully loaded all that often.
