Simple question really.
I'm going to be upgrading my system over the next 12 months, and was wondering if a 500W power supply will be enough.

The finished system will be:


Usual HD, floppy disk, DVD-rom, PCI modem
Two 7800 GT PCI-e graphics cards (run in SLI mode)
Gigabyte K8N Pro-SLI motherboard w. built in 7.1 sound
Athlon 64 4200+ X2 processor
2GB of Corsair Dual Channel Memory (4x512MB)
3 Fan cooling system
AGEIA PhysX PCI card (when they are available)


From what I've heard, the graphics cards, CPU, and Physics Processor will draw about 340W - I'm just unsure about the rest.
