My build is this

Antec 300 with 2 fans.

AMD II x4 940 Quad Processor

2 x ATI 4770 Cross Fire X

4GB 2x2 DDR2 Ram

640 GB 7200 Hard Drive

LG DVD/CD Combo Drive

2 x 120 mm Case Fan...


Will the OCZ Fatal1ty 550 Be safe for this system, I remember that on the ati site it says at least 550 watts psu, but I'm not sure with the 125 watt x4 940 and the two extra fans. If it is totally enough then I'll won't spend my extra 15 dollars on the 600/

550W is plenty, but I would go with better quality such as Corsair VX550 or BFG LS-550 (available at buy.com for $57.49 right now).

It's built by Sirtec, so highly unlikely. Have you got a link to a proper review?
