Hello there community :D I am once again in need of some info/tips !

My friends pc:

CPU - i7 960
RAM - 4GB 1333 hz
HDD`s - 1 x 1tb drive
FANS - 3 x 120mm fans
GPU - Gigabyte GTS 450 OC

My question - Would this PSU be able to run his system with dual 450`s in ?

The info I get for power consumption is inconsistent... So I don`t know how accurate it is.

The info I get is:

power consumption - numbers between 100 - 120 WAT
AMP required - anything between 20 and 26 AMP

the PSU`s info:

550 WAT
44 AMP on the +12v rail
(http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Cooler-master-gx550-550w-80plus-computer-case-power-supply/674211906.html)

He is obviously looking for a cheap upgrade - so any advice would be appreciated :D.

Thanx for your reply. :)
In the guru review it says peak WATT of 402 and underneath the table it says ''add another 100 - 150 WATT for overall power consumption''. So it is still very border-line. But thats not the biggest problem I think. It more about if the AMPs required to run the pc is to much for the PSU.
