The build looks good to me, I think that you should get 600w Power Supply rather than 500w to get much more power so that you could upgrade easily later

A better quality PSU is needed over more wattages.

Try a EVGA GS or XFX Core / TS / XTR unit. Antec has a HCG and it is good also. Check my signature for others. Also a i5 would be better for games I would ditch the SSD if this is a gaming intended build and go for the i5.

The FX 6300 would also do just fine. Wattage and Better quality are both needed in the power supply, get a psu that says continuous power than peak power and if you get a psu with not enough watts and not good quality it could damage the rest of the components in the build, so don't cheap out on psu. Corsair makes good quality psu as well as with good price, cooler master is also a good brand, evga and antec. Just get psu that has 80+ bronze certification or more

Sweet thanks for the input guys! And ya I'll probably upgrade the PSU the next time I have some extra money then. But as far as switching CPUs for the I5, I've already purchased all the parts for this build and my MoBo is am3+ socket. So to change CPUs would just about mean an entirely new build.

Yep, 500w psu is fine unless you wanna upgrade your gpu Hope I helped you
