Your Pentium D 830 is a 130watter but the E6600 is VERY EFFICIENT and just draws 65 watts max. 7600GT in SLI mode draws 95 watts.
Even a 430W power supply unit (PSU) with dual +12V rails could meet the needs of your current and future set up. BUT then, a higher rated PSU usually runs cooler, lasts longer and gives you a lot of elbow room for upgrades. You should be fine w/ a 500W PSU that has a total of AT LEAST 30 Amps on dual +12V rails.
