Is a 500w PSU enough to support this system?

Thanks, got an EVGA 500w Silver PSU to replace the garbage 550w chiefmax that burned out after 10 months. It literally burned up, left a game paused and walked away for about 10 minutes and came back to a dead pc and a very strong smell of burning motherboard.

Thats why i tell everybody to buy reliable PSU's
whats the point of buying garbage PSU's for less money and then replacing them with new ones
always buy good PSU's that would last at least 5 years

I needed to save a bit of money at the time. Didn't figure the PSU was as important as everything else as long as it supplied enough power to the system, so I went for the cheapest option. But I learned my lesson.
