I have a Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU. On this beauty I have an ASUS A8N DELUXE motherboard, AMD 4000+, 2x BFG 7800GTX 256MB, 2 GIG Crucial memory, Raptor 74GIG 10,000rpm Harddrives x2 in RAID 0, Creative X-Fi Fatality, 3x 80mm case fans, 3x blue light strips and 2x Liteon DVD Writers. Can I add another couple of fans, probably 2x 120mm case fans and even maybe another light. Im not sure if I dare as I dont want to destroy any of my computer or psu

I hope you can help
 
Once again, eXtreme's PSU calc (mentioned in the sticky) puts you close to 500W, so your 580W should be able to handle it, but I have no experience with that brand.

I always give at least 25% for wiggle room and some peace of mind... so maybe a 650W would make me feel at ease, maybe 700 since you are adding more in the future.
