What would the amperage be for this? Is this the right formula?
500/12 = 41A?

Not quite, you need to divide the wattage on the +12V rails by 12V, not the total wattage. Take a look at the label on the side: http://techgage.com/viewimg/?img=/r...pg&desc=Ultra%20X-Finity%20Dual%20Rail%20500W. You can see that there's 384W on the +12V rails. 384/12=32A.
