THe manufacturer's website for the card you are interested in (or the reference page at AMD) should give you a power requirement for the card as well as a recommended PSU wattage.

The page for that GPU on the Sapphire site, for instance, has this:

Quote:
PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard.
2X75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector is required for CrossFireX™ system.
1X75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector is required.
4096MBMinimum of system memory.
Installation software requires CD-ROM drive.
DVD playback requires DVD drive.
Blu-ray™ / HD DVD playback requires Blu-ray / HD DVD drive.
750 Watt Power Supply is required.
1000WattPower Supply is recommended for CrossFireX™ System.
1X150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express power connector is required.
2X150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express power connector is required for CrossFireX™ system.


From that it would seem that a 500W PSU is woefully inadequate.
