My setup :

i7 3770K
Asus Sabertooth Z77
8gb Corsair Dominator Platinum
Asus Radeon HD 7950
120gb SSD
2TB HDD
Bluray Drive

I have a Corsair GS500 Power Supply.
I plan on upgrading because this was my first build and I didn't really know much about the parts.

The GS500 will be fine for a 7950 and 3770K. It's not an ideal unit, but since you already have it, there's no point in fretting over it. Also I hope you haven't bought those parts yet. The RAM, motherboard, and likely the CPU are wastes of money.
