I was wondering if a xfx ts 550w can handle this build (i don't plan on overclocking just keeping the stock speed will do)

cpu: intel i5 6500 (stock cooler)
gpu : rx 480 8gb nitro+ oc (11260-01-20G)
motherboard : Asus H110M-K
psu : xfx ts 550w
ram : ddr4 8gb (single channel)
optical drive : cd-dvd
fans : 2x120mm
storage : Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" SATA ΙΙΙ
 
Solution
No not at all. That whole system will barely use 400w total. I have a much less efficient system with an RX 480 in it and I barely use 400w on a spike.

i just want to be sure


 
Read the text above the graphics table mate

'We measure power consumption from the whole system when idle and when gaming, excluding the monitor. '

That 282w is shows is for the whole system not the GPU alone
They are running a processor that draws 30w more than yours aswell.
