Here are my specs:

EVGA Nvidia GTX 570
16GB DDR3
Western Digital 7200 RPM 1GB HDD
AMD A8-5600K APU (Only using CPU portion due to dedicated GPU above)

Currently, I have a Raidmax 530w PSU, but I feel as if it isn't enough. Any suggestions?

Thanks a ton. It's just a shame that I payed $50 for this, and I have to get a new one. It's okay, though. I'll try to upgrade as soon as possible. Thanks again.

Thanks to everyone else that contributed, as well.
