Hi, you didn't post your complete specs, without knowing your GPU & CPU it's difficult to say if
the XFX550 is sufficient. However, if you are using anything less than a gtx780 or HD290x, then the
XFX will run a single GPU system. It is also a good quality PSU.

As for mounting, it is best to mount with the PSU fan facing the mobo, ie face down in a top mounted
PSU or face up in a bottom mounted PSU. The PSU intakes air & exhausts it out the back, so it tends to
suck some of the hot air of the vid card.

Hi again - the XFX550 is more than sufficient for your system and is a good choice as well.
Don't worry about fried components. One of the benefits of better quality PSU's is that the
protection features actually work as designed. If your PSU experiences improper voltages, temps, etc.,
it will shut down without taking other components with it.
