Ok well my question is if I will need any more power for my build because I had bought a case thinking it didnt have a power supply but it did and Im wondering if it had enough power for my build. Its a 500 wat power supply and here is the following parts.

I would say that a 500W PSU is enough. In my opinion, its cutting it a bit close without a lot of extra room. If you will be doing some OCing, or if you plan to do some upgrading in the future, go for that 580W. Plus it seems the 580W unit has some sort of cable management thing...
 
Ok for now I think I will stay with my 500 and when I get everything bought and ready to go and if I start over clocking I will buy the 580 but for now I'm short on money so yeah.
 
well if your not going to be overclocking then just use the stock cooler you cpu comes with, and with the money you save get a fortron 450 watt (which is enough to power that rig plus more)

and later when you start overclocking, the stock cooler will let you overclock a good bit
