I wouldn't. I'd get a 600 watt for overclocking and upgrade room.

CPU: i5 6600k OCed to 4.5Ghz @ 1.35v, GPU: R9 390 Nitro, Motherboard: Asus z170-A, CPU Cooler: H100i GTX, RAM: HyperX 2x8 16gb DDR4, PSU: Seasonic x650, Storage: 850 EVO 500gb, WD 1tb blue, Case: H440 White/Black

In general, you don't want to get the minimum wattage possible. Power supplies perform at their peak efficiency when they're somewhere in the middle of their range, not at the very edge.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Intel E8500 and a R9 280x with 8 gigs of ram on a Intel Dg45id mobo. This is not my main rig.

A good quality 500W will be perfectly fine. You will be very hard pressed to see 400W total system power consumption on a 280X system with an overclocked i7, never mind a C2D.
