That is my build and I have ordered all parts including a Sapphire R9 280x, my question is will the 500W PSU be good enough for my GPU and other parts? Or should I return my PSU and order a better one with higher wattage.
I am not looking to overclock or any additional actions.

I believe it built on the seasonic platform so it may be trusted as good

I would advice against a Corsair CX or VS series PSU. Corsair CX and VS PSUs use lower quality capacitors which tend to die around the warranty end period. I would advise to get a 500W Seasonic, Be quiet! (Avoid their gaming series), Corsai AX, TX, HX, RM series, XFX Pro/Core series, Rosewill Capstone, Enermax Thriathlor, Cooler Master VSM (and only VSM, other Cooler Master PSUs are very bad). There are just on tip of my mind.

You are cutting it kind of close... But i think you will be ok.
