I'm not aware of any hard limit, but generally, the limiting factor for handling large amounts of data is your scratch disk. You'll probably need at least a TB free disk space for this. RAM is way past insignificant and irrelevant.

Baically, with enough free disk space, Photoshop can handle anything you throw at it.

Why do you want to open (render) 500+ raw camera files into Photoshop at once?

ACR can batch process all open + selected raw files to rendered files, without needing to open them into Photoshop:

Depending on workflow and edits, if all of your images are in a single folder, a script might be better at opening them in smaller batches while the script keeps track of the next file(s) to open.
