is a 500W Power Supply enough for both:

AMD Athlon64 4400+ 2.2GHz
eVGA GeForce 6800 GT PCIE
 
Revised System

Ok here she is, please let me know your opinion:

eVGA GeForce 6800 GT 256MB PCI-E
SB Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
OCZ EL dual channel 1GB PC4000 @ 500MHz
Seagate Barracuda 160GB/7200rpm
Pioneer DVDRW 16X
Abit FATAL1TY AN8 AMD s939 2000MHz DDR PCIE
AMD Athlon 64 4400+ / 2.2GHz/ dual core
Aspire X-Navigator ATX Mid-Tower w/ PS (500W)
 
More then enough, just make sure it is a different PSU then the Aspire 500watt... mine blew up and didn't AUTO SHUTOFF like it should have, thus killing my neo4 plat SLi board, my Ballistix RAM, and one of my 6800GTs!! Asswiping Aspire.
 
Yes aspire power supplys leave much to be desired,if you are looking for a reasonable but powerful power supply try the xclio line of power supplys i had a 480watt it was very quiet and stable
 
500w is ample power.
Thing is don't just buy a cheapo nasty power supply just because of the hefty wattage, Make sure it's good quality or you're wasting you're time.
Hope this helps a little
