So my pc is

i5 3570k
gtx 560 ti hawk
corsair vx 550w (i think is discontinued)
8 gb

I never had any power problems and i just bought a msi gtx 760 gaming edition, so i dont know if i will have any problems with my PSU. What do you guys think? After seeing many gtx 760 reviews, with many different tdps, ranging from 170w to 350~w (WTF?), i still cant find a answer.

Specifications of Corsair VX 550

ATX12V V2.2
80 PLUS Certified
90 - 264 V 50/60 Hz
+3.3V@30A, +5V@20A, +12V@41A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3A

thanks in advance, and sorry the bad english.

You'll be fine , English is perfect.

TDP is 170W according to Nvidia's website , If overclocked at most will reach 200W

Nvidia recommends at least 500W so you're PSU will deliver that no problems :)

The PSU should be able to deliver 492W on the 12V Rail , You should be fine. :D 

Corsair's older psus are good quality.
