It says it needs a minimum of 500 watts but if I have the minimum will that be enough to not crash and stuff like that?

You are more than fine. You only need a 450w unit and really a CX430 would be enough. They have to overstate how much power you need because of people using low quality power supplies that can't put out their rated wattage.
Yes, easily. Manufacturers massively bloat PSU requirements because people tend to see a wattage and go and buy a $10 PSU that fulfills that, in reality wattage means little when deciding if or not a PSU can power a system.
