Hi there,
Here is the build I have decided with. I was wondering if 550W would be enough for this build.

With respect to the psu, I initially ordered Corsair CX600. However after reading comments about its quality issues I am becoming a bit hesitated with my choice.
On the other hand, it seems that the XFX psu has a better reputation. Unfortunately the XFX 650w is a bit out of my budget so 550w is all that I can afford. Should I sacrifice the 50w and make the switch?
