Wattage is not relevant.

Quality/spec of the PSU you use is relevant.

 

With 500W I assume you mean such garbage as the EVGA 500B, do you?
If so, pls replace it. 450W is enough, but you need a good quality one like Bitfenix Formula, Whisper M, be quiet Straight Power 11. Or Cougar GX-F (550W)

Yes, you can easily run it with a 500w psu, but what's your budget for your gpu?

the wattage they recommend is just there for users with crap power supplies, the 580 doesn't need that kind of wattage.
