Heres the card :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
the minimum psu wattage says 750w but other 280 cards do not require this. I have a 550w xfx power supply and I wanted to know if it is enough.
Specs:
8gb 1066mhz ram
amd fx 6300 3.6ghz (small overclock)
1TB hard drive
msi 970a-g43

It will run fine, though you won't be able to do much overclocking as you'll be tight on power.

for those of you who are thinking this same question, you CAN overclock this card to its full potential if you have a TRUE 550 watt power supply. I pushed this card to its absolute limits in terms of overclocking and on top of that overclocked my fx-6300 to 4.0 ghz. The core voltage is 1181, memory clock maxed out, and core clock at 1175.
