    Uh, which 550W PSU?

    If it's a good one then yes, it'll be fine. If not, then no.

    Taken from Newegg's site...

    +3.3V@30A,+5V@20A,+12V@41A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3A

    You should be fine. 550w should be more than enough power for you.

    Looks like it would be enough, but is the motherboard 4 pin CPU or 8 pin CPU out of interest
