First of all i have never built a pc before nor have much knowledge on pc parts. So my question is is this build good and future proof? The only game i play is World of warcraft. I also do some photo and video editing. Will 500w psu be enough?

do it to 1000 dolars but get the R9 390x thats gona make you future proof

The 390X isn't worth it as it's an extra 10% performance for $100 more. Also, future proofing doesn't exist except from cases and PSUs.
