Which power supply should I get?

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to build an affordable gaming computer for the first time and I just wanted to know how much watts (power supply) I need to support my computer.

Here are the computer components that I am planning to buy:

Video Card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Memory- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
HDD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Optical Drive- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I'm planning to buy a 500 W ATX power supply and I was wondering if this is too much or not enough power. Also will a ATX power supply fit in a micro ATX tower?

Here are the links for the micro ATX tower and the ATX power supply:

ATX PSU will fit in a micro-ATX case.

The NewEgg fine print on open box items should concern you if you're getting a open-item motherboard:
Open Box Refund Only Return Policy
"If you purchase an Open-Box product Newegg guarantees only that you will receive the product itself; accessories MAY OR MAY NOT BE INCLUDED with Open-Box products. Newegg will not send you a missing accessory, even if the missing accessory is required in order to properly make use of all the product’s advertised functions."
