Using older PSU upgrade question

Yet another thread on will this work for my upgrade. I am using an Antec Neo Power 500HE power supply.

Moving from a core2 duo e4300 oc'd to 2.6ghz up to the following

Evga 758 SLI Motherboard
i7 920 cpu
6gb ddr3 ram
corsair h50 cooler
60gb vertex ssd
2x 1.5tb green wd hdd (will add more drives if needed up to 4)
1 sata dvdr burner
PCI-E 9800GS (will plan on upgrading this to an SLI later on)

I will be sticking with the current video card for a few months. Then will decide on two video cards in the $150 range to upgrade to in SLI or a single $300 depending on performance/quality at that time.

Is my psu capable of getting me by for now? Or do I need to upgrade already and I should buy a larger PSU (650w?) for the future upgrade.. What psu do you recommend? I prefer to go with Antec or Corsair if I must upgrade.

Thanks for your suggestions
 
Current PSU is big enough for now. I'm guessing reason on waiting to buy new video card is due to Fermi. I would only worry about the PSU if it needs to be replaced. Depending on the video card you plan on buying later.

For the new system I just built about 2 weeks ago. I used the corsair 750w Modular SLI/CrossFire Ready. My system specs can be seen in my sig.
