the rs-500 model seems to have 396W on the 12V rails

gtx275 uses around 140W at most

stock i7 920 is rated for 130W, should use less even when fully loaded...
10W for each drive, 20-30 for mobo (including ram), so the worst case usage is little over 300W. It should work just fine

There's more than 1 RS-500 model.

First, thank for your answer. Im thinking about getting a new one, but here is very difficult to find some good psu`s.

Here, no supplier import or bring corsairs psu.

So, even fully loaded, my psu should handle my rig, with no problem right?

thank.

It should be no problem, just remember that PSUs provide less power as they get older and also if they are run at a higher temperature than rated power temperature.
