Will this Build work on a 500W PSU?

250W TPD GPU + 95TPD CPU + other parts
500W would be cutting it pretty close even if you'd get a quality unit and there's no room to OC
I'd go with at least 550W, better 600+
might be worth it investing in a

500w is more than enough for that build, that said Isokolon's model selections are far preferable to the PSU you selected.
The EVGA 550G2 or XFX TS 550 would be plenty for that build and way better quality than the PSU you picked.
