Do I have enough power?

So I'm wondering if installing an SSD (and keeping the old HDD) it's finally pushed me over the limit.

Spec is:
Mobo MSI p67a-G45
Cpu intel i5 2500k
Ram Kingston hyper x 2x4gb 1600mz
Gpu Ati 6950 2gb
Psu Zalman 500w
5 case fans and 1 cpu fan
Optical drive
Nzxt M59 case (front lights and panel)

Without the SSD I had 4.4ghz at standard volts stable, now I get a bsod (Not even sure if it's entirely overclock related)

I haven't tried it with increased volts yet because I ran out of time.

I've also noticed a crackling coming from the speakers whilst idle and a whine under load from either the psu or gpu when under load (strange the crackling sound goes away once the computer is under load) these symptoms appeared after replacing the motherboard because of an RMA

Thanks for reading this wall of text :P Any help is much appreciated :)
