The current draw is important, but it shouldn't fry if you overload it-that's one of the things the fuse is for. Also consider the current draw values to be an approximation, not absolute. If your total using is above about 580 I would assume you are

Oops finger slipped.

I was about to say I would assume you are running at full capacity. That means you need a psu with a higher current output.
