should be fine, but you might want to go with a higher wattage one with more efficiency aka higher 80+ rating to be safe. EVGA makes a 750 WATT supernova g2 for sub $100. grab that and you should be very well off.

Do not get the corsair PSUs you mentioned. they are very low quality. if anything go for a seasonic PSU of xfx pro series, but in the long run it will be better bc they will not catch on fire like some low quality corsairs have.

Jdogz427 :

Spoiler alert: Most Corsair PSUs are actually just made by Seasonic and then rebranded as Corsair

Would this psu be fine? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008RJZR40/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Yes it will handle it but you shouldn't buy it because it's very low quality. It has cheap capacitors.

This would be great. It is also 80+ Gold.

Unfortunately the cx series is just as bad if not worse.

It's definetly not worse, but yes it's bad.

550W is definitely enough but I would try getting a 620W Seasonic or 650W XFX power supply.
