I just bought AsRock H97M Pro4, Msi Lighting 780 3GB, i5 4440, Crucial Ballistix 8GB, WD 1TB Blue components and http://support.asus.com/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en says that I need 650 watts. Is this true? And I have 3 fans also. Is 550w enough for my rig?

The Super Flower 550W Golden Green HX has 45.5 amps on the 12v+ rail and is sufficient to power your specs.

That is a very very good power supply.

After looking into it, I would upgrade the power supply. To run a 780 system it takes about 42 amps, and your psu looks to have 45.5 amps(from the little bit I could find about it online :D )

I can help you find a psu if you would like, or keeps yours now.

Blackbird. I myself like to have headroom, just for the peace of mind.
That's why I would upgrade.
