500W PSU for i5 8400 + GTX 970?

[austinledet_]

Just wanting a second opinion, I'm updating my PC from my i7 4790k to an i5 8400. I have my old 750w being put to work elsewhere. I plan to grab a modular power supply soon, but I have a spare 500w power supply laying around from a different build. Do you guys think this will safely power my current build, at least until I upgrade it to a modular power supply? Build list is as follows.

i5 8400
AsRock z370 (LEDs)
8GB DDR4
2 strips of LEDs
4 Case fans, (2 LED)
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
1TB HDD
Razer Blackwidow Keyboard

The power supply I have laying around is an 80+ EVGA. Tech sheet says it's rated for 40A on the 12v rail. According to the Cooler Master calculator it says the system will only pull 319w, I feel thats kind of low. Any input is appreciated.

what model is it? Gold is only efficiency not quality, 40A on the package doesn't mean it can reliably support 40A.

EVGA 500w White, used it for a temporary gaming rig for my girlfriends little brother. We upgraded him to an i7 7600k build, so I have spare parts laying around. If it works I'll use it for a week and then grab a modular power supply to clean up some cables. Here's the link, as well as a link to the spec sheet.
