would a 500W power suply be enough or should i go more if so how much more

500W is more than enough, but make sure it has at least 28A on the +12V rail(s). Take a look at http://www.computerforum.com/90118-useful-psu-case-guides.html. If you're looking for specific recommendations, my complete list is at http://www.computerforum.com/90117-ceewi1s-psu-recommendations.html. How much are you looking to spend?

on the case with power suply only about $200 australian or so
the computer i have it priced out at $1200 without case

Which case? In general, the PSUs which come with cases are usually poor quality, although there are a few exceptions (Antec, for example, are generally good).

A few good options here in Australia for that sort of system:
Antec Earthwatts 500W
Corsair VX450
Corsair VX550

That leaves ~$100 for a separate case.

That will certainly do it
