    The 500VA power supply is adequate. A little more would be nice, but it's not critical at this stage.

    Since interupping the current between the driver and motor can cause damage to the drivers, any fuses should be placed before. If you pop open the drivers you'll find they're already fused, but there's no harm in putting your own correctly rated fuse in if it makes you feel better.
