I'm wondering if a 500w power supply can handle these parts or would I have to get a higher watt one? If so how much would do...

• EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB

• Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I54690K

• ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard B85M-G R2.0

• X2 WD Blue 1TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm

• Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600

• CD-ROM/DVD drive

That power supply is a 400w powersupply with some creative marketing. I wouldn't use it personally.

Would you consider the Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V a good one?

Nope. EVGA B2 costs the same amount of money and is worlds ahead. However, with that system you'll hit 250W with OC so don't sweat wattage too much.
