Hello,
Just made / purchased this build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4z9XJx
I am worried about my 550w psu not being enough
. I picked up the gpu last minute because it was on sale and a good deal.
Thanks,
Aaron.

My bad i just noticed that was the wrong psu included. I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WLRFE4/ref=oh_deta...
(thats why the psu price is so cheap)

I've never heard of that PSU, and its not even on the tier list. I'd invest some money in a tier 3 or above 500w PSU, if you can. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100w105... Here's a cheap t3 $29.99

A quality 450W is more than enough. Definitely return that Ark PSU, I can't even find the OEM on it which means that is is going to be complete junk. Go with Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, etc. Give me a budget for your PSU and I'll recommend you one.I mean i dropped $600 + on the parts, i could do between 30-60$ on the psu.

PSU should be the most important part of your build. If your PSU dies, it could zap your $600 worth of parts. This is the absolute best bang for your buck right now.

Seasonic. While none of those are bad, the Seasonic is still the best. The Corsair CX series is based on a CWT platform which uses Chinese capacitors like Capxon which are not designed for the stress of a high end system. The EVGA B series is HEC based and better than the CX series, but HEC will never compete with a Seasonic platform (which is obviously the platform used by the Seasonic S12II).
The CX600 only actually gives around 580W on the +12V rail too, whereas the S12II will give you the full 520W on the +12V rail.
So that's my long winded answer about which is the best choice.

Which would be safer with my psu: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E0N49C8/ref=ox_sc_a... or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CZIQXBA/ref=ox_sc_a... or msi 280x?
