I'm not that good with this stuff but the gpu its self requires 500w. It seems like I would need more?

I would advise against such a low PSU...I haven't worked out the wattages myself, however it would be very easy for you to research the wattage that each of your components requires.

To be on the safe side, I would personally recommend a 750W PSU.

To the guys above me, could you educate your self a little bit and watch this long but detailed video about how many watts you really need, you might be surprised.

Spoiler alert!
A system like yours could easily run off 450 watts. 500 would be enough and to be on the safe side too

750W in that rig is ridiculous and not needed
