Hey, This is my first build.. I was wondering if A corsair CX500 would be enough... I don't plan to add anything to the build in the future... Also, thoughts on the motherboard? TIA :D

500W? More than enough
CX? No
960? 380X/380 - the 960 is NOT worth 210$ by any stretch of the imagination - a 230$ 380X is 25% more poweful

I'd suggest a 380 and an EVGA GS PSU.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
