Will a CX500 (500w) power this set up?

 

Intel Core i5 4670K (Overclocked)

AMD Radeon 7850 (Overclocked)

GIgabyte G1 Sniper M5

USB 3.0 External HDD

128GB SSD

USB 3.0 External ODD

2 4GB Sticks of Corsair Vengange Low Profile 1600 MHz RAM
NZXT LED Light Cable

Laing DDC-1T

 

If not what size PSU do I need, I am not fussed about the new Haswell beep sleep states so I do not need a C8/9 certified PSU.

500 watts unless you plan to do Crossfire in the future.

Do you already have the PSU? The wattage should be just fine, as Linus used a 550w PSU in his build guide with a 4770k and a GTX 780.

I dont have any of the parts yet, I like the Corsair CX line as they are relatively inexpensive and still good quality and also it has green on it so it will match the motherboard.
