500 Watts is more than enough for any standard System…

Maybe not “More than enough” for his system but it’s about right. The GTX 280 is a power guzzler.
All depends on the quality of the PSU
I’d say 650 W just in case. You can find one for like…50 bucks or less at ebay i think…last time i checked [yesterday]

That depends on the model. Sure cheaper 500w psu’s work but for gaming its a no go. They cant power the card properly and will die so you need strong named ones like Corsair, TT, Antec, etc
A 500W PSU would be enough, but I’d play it safe and go 600W+.
