okay so starting from 500W is good okay

It's not just about wattage, it's about PSU quality as well. The ones I mentioned are of good quality as well. Finding a high-quality 350-450W PSU without paying the same price for a 500-550W PSU is near impossible

PSU's to look at (Varying prices/modularity, check the connectors):

 

XFX XTR 550

XFX TS series (550)

EVGA 500B

Seasonic S12II

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
