So far I have:

E6600 Core 2 Duo
Geforce 7950 GT
Dvd-RW
SATA HD + a couple storage drives
emu 0404 sound card
ASUS P5B Deluxe mobo


Would 500W be sufficient?

I'm running FAR more stuff than that off a 500W PSU, so I really wouldn't worry. Take Techno Pride's advice and save some money.

I agree - good 330-380W PSU is enought for your rig.

Even a Dell 305w psu would be more than adequate. :)

A good quality 500W power supply will suffice, yes. Check out my sig for an insight into what you can run with a 520W PSU. Also, I run two hard drives off this PSU and not just one as indicated in my systems rigs profile (I need to update it, I know).
