Dude, I have 3 X 1TB's 7200rpm HDD's, + 2 Optical drives( one dvdrw and one Blu ray), + some LED's inside my case to lighten it up. It takes more than 500 watt even if I have a GTX 460.
Moreover, corei7 might take a little bit more than core i3, also I have got an SLI motherboard. SO thats why I needed 650watt PSU..!!
Yours is OK, more than OK for 500 watt, just go for Coolermaster..!!

You say that your PC consumes more than 500W. How much power you need according to the power calculator??

According to the power calculator, my maximum power needs goes upto 561 watts. But I would be ready to add a new GPU, a couple of more HDD's.
