The 550Ti has only one 6-pin support.And does it even reaches 116W ?
Rest I just matched your specs & added peripherals that a general PC has, using the watt calculator. I didn't know the tdp of 550ti. And watching future room with your PSU I suggested that.
Though you can use 190W card like gtx760 or anything. As 12V X 18A = 216W.
