My advise to the melting pot:
Don't skimp on the power supply.
Don't skimp on the power supply.
Don't skimp on the power supply.
Heard me yet?
If you do your calculations and 500W power supply is enough, go put a 650W in, or better yet, a 750W. Power supplies use to deregulate as the components in them age. Its one of those pesky laws of physics and electronics that I don't think they've quite gotten around to breaking yet.
