Hello,

My list of parts is

Cpu: i7 4790
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Black Rock LP
Gpu: MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X
Mobo: MSI B85-E45
PSU: EVGA 500w bronze 80+
Memory: 16gb 1600 mhz Cosair Vengeance
Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 500gb SSD
WD Black 2tb HDD

I have all the parts and am just putting them together, would rather avoid getting a new PSU if I can.

Am I going to run into issues? No plans at all to Overclock, hence the locked CPU.

Nope, I would not recommend that PSU. If you were having a i5 4400 paired with a say, GTX1050 that PSU would have been more than sufficient.
But for such a high end rig (CPU and GPU are almost of flagship level), I would recommend a 700 watt PSU. The slight more costs incurred in going from 500 watt to 700 watt is simply worth it, looking at the costlier componenets those will draw power from the PSU.

This one is priced higher but that 40 -50 bucks extra spent is well worth it.
