The difference is 100 Watts. Post the specifications of the motherboard, the CPU, graphics and cooling, along with what you intend to do with your computer and someone can advise whether 500 Watts is enough.

One is 500W. the other 600W. They are from different series.

Also see http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html - they are both in tier 3.

First off the 600B is better because it is slightly more efficient being a 80 PLUS Bronze vs the 500 which is only 80 PLUS. Secondly there is more available power on the 600B but that only really matters if you need it. What are you powering with this power supply?

If you end up only needing 500 watts you can get the 500B instead of the regular 500. Not only is it 80 PLUS Bronze like the 600 but it is also onsale 😉

Thanks for upsetting an entire nation, ZeroWhite 😀 In England, a basic 400W costs more than that retail . The trade price to me for the 500B is £34.94 GBP and that's about $53 USD

That's some rough stuff Saga That just means there is a market for you to be a computer hardware distributor in England and import the items directly from manufacturer. Chop Chop there is money to be made!
