Will a Antec TruPower 550w PS be enough to power a Asus Crosshair and a Evga 8800GTS Graphics Card?

Probably, might even be more than enough. But you need to list your total system specs before an acurate answer can be given.

Okay here's the rest:

Kingston HyperX 2GiG (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820134125)
Thermaltake Armor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133154)
CD Drive
Samsung 200g Hard Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152022)
AMD X2 6000+ (http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103772)

That's pretty much everything.

have both the Crosshair and Antec TP 550. Along with a BFG 8800GTS and 4 WD 320 HDDs. Had to return the PSU because 3 weeks after start up the monitor would not light up. Changing out the PSU with a same wattage everything powered up OK. RMAd the PSU and recd a replacement 5 weeks ago. Everything is running OK, but seriously thinking about upgrading to a 600+ because of the 4 HDDS.

Ok. With that list, the Antec 550wt psu should provide plenty of power. Only other suggestion is to compare the Antec with a Seasonic, Enermax, or Thermaltake and see which gives the most amps on the 12V rail and which costs the least. But basically, 550wt should do it.
