enough power?

[Troncoso]

an nForce 650i ultra motherboard

an intel core 2 quad Q6600

an hp dvd 1040i dvd writer

two Kingston HyperX 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM

powered by an antec EA 500 watt power supply...

so my question...i'm sure that 500watts is fine for what i listed, but what about the addition of a video card...and is there anything i'm missing? this is for a moderate gaming system..at least it should be able to play most games at decent specs.

Yup it should be enough, that's a very capable powersupply.
