i think , for Now , 500 power watt very very enough, but in the future you want upgrade hi-end VGA, you need more power 750W above, get good PSU like sea sonic, anteq, Bequite! etc

it will be a rough estimate. of about 300W from what details you have given us, but IMO i would recommend 550W-600W

There are two versions of the GeForce 9600 GT.

The original version has a Maximum Graphics Card Power of 96 Watts which required the use of a 6-pin PCI-E supplementary power connector. For this version NVIDIA recommends a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum +12 Volt continuous current rating of 26 Amps or greater and with at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

The later version, Green Edition, based on the G94b GPU has a Maximum Graphics Card Power of 59 Watts and didn't have or require the use of a PCI-E supplementary power connector. For this version NVIDIA recommends a minimum of a 300 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum +12 Volt continuous current rating of 18 Amps or greater.
