Ok typical mid-range set up except with a single 8800GTX.

Antec Neo HE 550W enough juice?

don't link me to eXtreme PSU Calculator please . It's crappy.. the allowance they give is insane. I adjust it to my current set up it register a 450W.. the highest i hit wasn't even close to 300W !!! Basically it adds 15%-40% éxtra' which is retarded.

Adding 10 - 15% isn't retarded at all, it absolutely guarantees that your new PSU will work, plus it likely gives you some wiggle room for new components and overclocking.

(Your example is an extra 150w though! Which probably is a little too much wiggle room)
