Greetings!

I am going to be building a workstation and I have been searching around and found a bunch of conflicting info online, so figured I would check with the wonderful experts here.

The setup I am considering is this:

- Intel Xeon E5-1650 V3 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
- ASRock X99E-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA2011-3 or ASUS X99-M WS mATX motherboard
- Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16 or 4x8 depending on mobo)
- NVIDIA Quadro M4000 8GB Video Card
- Silverstone 500W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply
- Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Lian-Li PC-05SX or PC-O6SX (depending on mobo choice)
- Maybe an LED strip or two
- Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (not yet selected)

My question is if the Silverstone 500W PSU will provide enough power and give a little headroom if needed. I am not looking to add graphics in SLI or anything, for this is purely a build for workstation purposes, and overclocking is not necessary (or really possible with the Xeon as far as I know).

I now release this to the ether for your esteemed considerations.

Thanks!
