XFX is a rebranded Seasonic. Seasonic makes the best power supplies on the market (like Antec, and the high end EVGA and Corsair series). You shouldn't have any problems since 550W will power most anything except the highest end GPUs like the 290/x and the 780. 550W is plenty good enough for pretty much any build that costs around $1000.
