That would depend on what you are trying to do with it and what resolution your monitor needs.

my res is 1600x900 and gaming and Photoshop/3d modeling

The CPU might slow you down a bit in 3D modeling. Or intensive strategy games.

The GPU could be upgraded for gaming in general. GTX 460 1GB would be about as far as you need to go.

I have a 500 psu is that good?

See the PSU guide linked in my sig. That will give you a better answer.

what is the GTX 460 1GB power usage

Non-overclocked will not exceed 14 amps. 155W seems to be the max recorded:
