Hey guys, I am building my first system and I was wondering whether the Corsair CX500m will be enough to power this system.

BTW, Please NO comments like "Where is the hard drive or Disk Drive" I know, I am using a hard drive and disk drive out of my current PC

The link isn't to your parts list; click the 'permalink' button on the left side.

 

But, as long as it's not 780Tis in SLI, it should be fine.

He has "gtx 660ti" as a tag, so it'd be safe to say that he isn't using two/three 780 Tis. 

550 watts will be fine, unless you've got a quad Xeon mobo/CPU system lol.

It'll be fine. But I read that CX series PSUs have some issues with coil whine.
