Hello, I have old cpu and motherboard, with GTX 750ti, and I am planning to buy new motherboard with intel i5 4670k, do I have to buy new power supply or is my 550W power supply enough?

I agree they're kind of a mix, but Corsair bases their PSUs off of Seasonic so if you go AX, GS, or RM lines you're golden.

go to pcpartpicker.com and select the exact pc components you want/have and it will tell you the amount of wattage those components need. It is recommended that you get a PSU that has about 100-300 watts more than you need just in case you wish to overclock or upgrade parts later on.

Brands to consider: Corsair, EVGA, Antec, and Seasonic are all pretty much guarantees of being good PSUs.

I agree with most of this but I think the only guarantee of quality is Seasonic. The rest make complete crap while also making excellent power supplies. You need to be careful.
