if your looking to get a bigger and badder GPU later i think you should look into a more powerful PSU... 600W is a little safer and you will have a longer life expectancy for it.

GPUs suck up power and if your psu is running at or near full capacity all the time it will have a lower life expectancy. 500 is sufficient but it would be better in the long run for your system to have 600.
