Hey,

Im buying a new computer, so i wanted to ask if the XFX 550w core edition will be enough for this:
Intel i5 4960k
Asus Strix R9 380 4gb
8gb ram 1600mhz
A random cd drive
Cooler master 212 evo
MSI z97 PC MATE
Also will it be enough for some future upgrades( no SLI just like a new R9 390 or GTX 970 or a new processor)
Thanks

Yep that PSU is high quality and it is enough for your current setup, if you are going for the R9 390 then it maybe pushing it a bit but if you get the GTX 970 then you will be fine, I have an I5-6600k and R9 290x and I run a EVGA 650W G2 PSU to run this setup.

Sorry to interrupt but i have one more question about overclocking with this PSU.
So will this psu handle some little overclocking? (Thinking about oc'ing my i5 to 4.1ghz or something like that)

i have an I5-6600k OC to 4.2GHz ontop of my R9 290x and my EVGA 650W G2 still has more power to give and the R9 290x is a power hog of a CPU compared to others it has about 300W of power draw compared to the GTX's 175W so you will be fine.
