550W PSU good for FX 8350 + HD 7870?

Hey. The title basically asks it. I plan on upgrading soon to an 8350, but will my PSU power it with an HD 7870?

If it's a decent one it's more than enough.

Okay. What if I replaced the 7870 with a GTX 770?

I'm currently using an XFX PRO550W. Is that good? Or are those the same?

Yes that will easily power your specs with a 770.

You have a great power supply.
