My computer model is a a6554f HP.

Im buying the power supply because I am updating my video card to a 9800 GT.

I tryed to understand the post about picking the right power supply but still confused.

The specs on my computer are:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 / 2.4 GHz
5gb DDR2 SDRAM
750 GB - Standard - Serial ATA-300 - 7200 rpm
64-bit processor

I want to buy from tigerdirect.com since there is an outlet store nearby. Please respond and let me know if the power supply i linked was good enough for my computer specs and new videocard.

I would not buy that. While it will probably run everything without issue it is not a good psu. If you have to buy from those choices I would go for either the Corsair or the PC P&C psus, with preference to the Corsair. They are both manufactured by Seasonic but the Corsair pumps out slightly more power to the 12v rail which is important, and uses a 120mm fan instead of an 80mm one although both should be silent.

A 630watt 43amp on the 12volt rails for $55, this thing will die and take your machine with it.
Buy this from TD. http://preview.tinyurl.com/68z9ab
It is built to exacting specifications buy the makers of Seasonic, Corsair and others. But it is built to a higher quality, PCPower is the PSU gold standard.
