have bought a GTX 260 not OCed, got 4GB RAM, a gigabyte G5-P35-S3 mobo, and an e6850 cpu... current psu is 500W.

and i have a DVD drive - should i change to blu-ray?
 

You do not need something that powerful. One with less power like this: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies would be fine for your system.

But it does look like you will have to upgrade it. The one you have now is not powerful enough i think - especially if you plan to overclock.

EDIT:
so how much wattage am i looking at?

Wattage isnt all that important, that amps is much more important - please read the PSU guide in this section of the forums.
