What games do you intend to play? (so I can tell you about the card)
In HDD I would suggest caviar black for max performance
And Psu is just too low you should look Corsair AX series 760W

 

[PC_Soldier]

Is this build for gaming or editing?

 

[Austin Marquis]

I intend to play games such as watch dogs, bf4, tf2, and maybe dota. Keep in mind this is my first build ever. First gaming pc even.

 

[Analgetic]

Then the 500w psu is too low for such build and you should get the psu I mentioned above so you don't have problems with power.
I will still stay with the caviar black which has the best performance (whatever capacity you wish of course)
And you should get this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487003 (+free watch dogs). Keep in mind this card is for max settings etc. if you don't really care about the graphics and you just want to play these games keep the one you mentioned firstly.

 

[Austin Marquis]

How about this then http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vFv6qs

 

[Analgetic]

Perfect the same psu as mine and trust me it's the best (+7 years warranty or 5 i'm not sure). The only thing now you should consider is getting 2x8 ram if you want 16 GB so if sometime you need to upgrade your ram you will have 2 free ram slots for another 16GB

I'd spend some bucks in a ssd instead of so much in gaming keyboard <_<
