does not matter if you got 1,2+ monitors, as the monitors have their own power cables.
500W should do

it depends on the quality of the PSU, if it's a cheap generic PSU it may or may not be enough. Most PSU's have a chart on one side that shows the voltage rail capacities for the 3.3,5, and 12v rails. You should have at least 30A on the 12v rails to power your system with a clean stable power source with an X1950. Is the card the X1950 Pro, XT or XTX?
