I'm thinking of purchasing a Saphire Toxic HD4870. I'm not sure I have a big enough power supply. I'm running a Athlon X2 dual core 5400+, ASUS M4A788-E, 4 GB OCZ 1066, WD 320 gb, WD 750 gb, DVD-RW, all on a Antec True 2.0 550W.
Is this enough?

Give this little tool a try. It probably predicts a little on the high side, but you really want some reserve power.
