So I'm building a new rig, but trying to salvage as much as possible from my old one. One of things I'd like not to rebuy is the PSU, currently I'm at 500W (530W peak). Do you think this is enough for the following components?

-460 GTX
-4 GB Mem
-3 HD
-i7 860
-DVD ROM
 
If it is rated at 530 Peak, then it isn't really a 530W PSU

Rating at Peak is a huge minus for the PSU to begin with. I don't know of many "530W" PSUs that are good quality...and all of those that I do know of are rated at continuous instead of peak.
 
So-so quality IIRC and close to three years old now.

With that said, should be ok for that setup as long as you don't overclock.
