Ok so Im a little scared as im building my first pc and I have all the parts now and im worried that my psu which is an evga 500w 80plus psu wont be enough to power my system.
Im just hoping it wont fry.

Let me know if I'll be okay with these specs:

1TB western digital blue HDD
500w evga psu
Amd athlon x4 860k (overclocked to 4.4ghz)
Cooler master hyper 212 EVO
2x4gb crucial ballistix sport 1600mhz
Sapphire dual-x r9 280
Gigabyte amd a88x up4 MOBO
Corsair 200r
And 2 extra 120mm case fans.
Will I be okay with this/will my system not crash or die?? I dont have any more money for a different psu and I plan on playing games at 900p.

it'll make it but with little left over. i would not suggest overclocking any part with this psu.

it is not very good quality and not designed for overclocking. it will power the system but that's about all you can say of it. if you have not built this pc yet, can i suggest getting a cheaper gpu and putting the cash into the psu. a 270x will easily handle 1600 x 900 resolution and that extra cash can go for a better psu and not increase your budget.
