Hey guys, I'm planning on building this pc but i am new to this so i don't know much. Is a 500W power supply enough or too much? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/38dhJV
It recommends a 450W PSU to make sure you don't run out of power with your full build; since your full build is only 320W, you could probably get away with a smaller one. The card itself only uses 120W.
Yes. If you look in the bar just to the left of where it says "History" and "Save As" it gives you a total wattage number. Yours is 320W, so a 500W PSU would indeed be enough for this build. In fact it might even be slight overkill; you could probably get away with a 450 or even a 400, although that's cutting it a bit close.

Oh alright, I was confused because it said 320W in pcpartpicker but my graphics card said that I need 450W minimum, which is why i chose a 500W PSU. Thank you
