I dunno, you've got that X-Fi in there. 😀

But seriously, yes a quality 500W (hell, even 400W) is sufficient for that build.
 
I'll recommend two. SeaSonic SII 520W and Corsair 550VX. Be sure to use promo code BTEZZZS23 to save an extra $10. Same top-end quality. The Corsair's a little cheaper after rebate (but you have to deal with the rebate).

I agree, both solid units, but I'd egg you towards the Seasonic. Built by the same company as the company on the label. And best of all.. It's cheaper.
