Okay so I'm planing on buying. An Core i5 4440 with Gainward Gtx 960 2gb With the Asrock B85M pro 4 Mobo. I already have the rest of the needed components. and the question is is 500 watt enough?

Depends. What PSU is it? I hope you haven't already bought a GTX 960.

Fx-6300 would be a nice downgrade from the i5. R9 380 is a better GPU than the 960. I can't suggest anything because I don't know your budget, or currency. I'd also need to know which Fractal case you have, for compatibility.

No. AM3+ is a downgrade from an i5, any of them. It's a dead socket.

If you can spend a little extra, get this GPU instead;

Yeah that will work! But is 450 watt really enough? cause if it is is 430 watt enough because i already have an corsair 430w psu.

450W will be fine. No, I wouldn't use a 430W Corsair unit because it's more than likely poor quality.
