Power Supply Question!

I am upgrading my system from amd 939 to amd AM2 socket. Basically all new components.
I have right now a 380W power supply that is sufficient for what i have. but can it sufficiently power my new parts? at least until i can find a suitable upgrade? which are:

athlon 64 x2 4600 (65W)
2x1g DDR2 800 ram (pc26400)
evga 8800gts vid card
asus crosshair mobo
x2 HDD

any info would be great.
i was thinking 500W's but im not to informed when it comes to PSU's

my PSU is

+5V max 35a
+3.3v max 28a

380W will not power an 8800gts and all the other components. I would look at a PSU of around 500-600W, something like this will be fine.
