First time building a pc , not too knowledgeable so bear with me,but if a video card calls for a specific power supply wattage do you "have" to use that. The reason I ask is because the vc calls for 600 watts but the only power supply that is within my budget and I've been recommended is 550, so can I just use the 550 or will it cause problems?
this might be a dumb question

Also, to make an educated estimate of your power needs, a complete listing of your system components (make/model) is required. Also, keep in mind that not all PSUs are created equally, regardless of what the labels on them claim.
