cool...
Just one question though, it looks like from what you've written that the PSU came with the case? If this is so, may I suggest that at some future point you replace it with a branded model. Inferior models may suddenly fail, drop voltage and cause blue screens.
A 500W PSU should be more than enough power wise, you can also work out what output you may need by using this handy guide:
