I want to know can I upgrade my DDR3 RAM with 2x2GB Corsair.
My PC Specs are:

NAXN 500W PSU
GALAXY(KFA2) Geforce GTX260+ OC Edition 896 MB GPU
2x2GB DDR3 RAM
Intel i3 550 3.20 GHz CPU
1TB Western Digital HDD

I don't know is it too much for my PSU.

Do you have 2 more slots for RAM? I would say sell your current ones and run 2 4GB sticks in dual channel. More than 2 sticks of RAM makes the CPU work harder.

Not too much for your PSU, does your motherboard support it? I would sell the 2x2GB and get maybe 2x4 GB. Make sure not to put different sticks in. Only 2 of the EXACT same maker and type.

Probably. Go with 2x4 sticks of RAM.
Single Channel - Bad
Dual Channel - Best
4 sticks in dual channel - Worse
