As far as specs goes, yoes you have the needed amps and watts. HOWEVER, CoolerMaster brand PSUs below 750W are quite dicey.

so can i go for corsair TX750 it has 60Amp on 12vlots and ans 720watts can i buy this one....by the ways thx for the help.

That 550w is probably just fine for a single 4870. You aren't OCing your CPU, and if you stay away from that with your video I would feel comfortable with it. Once you start to overclock things it starts to draw more power, and while you meet the recommended requrements for a 4870, that is based on stock specs. Dual 16A rails should be fine.

A corsair 750 is complete overkill. You would need it if you were going to run dual 4870's though.

Um. Not really sure I would want to run a 4870 on a 400W PSU. Will it work? Maybe, would I feel comfortable? No.

I think you PSU is just fine, just don't go crazy on the OC's.

by the way thx for the help guys. so you all says that sm gonna stay cool with cooler master 550W but stay away from overclocking..right.?

You can OC but don't OC heavily...
750TX isway overkill for your RIG.

You can OC but don't OC heavily....

Hence the "don't go crazy on the OC" part. Moderate OCing doesn't usually draw a ton more power. Once you start manually increasing the voltages, it really starts to show.

thx all the guys.but how can i test whether my PSU is perfect for my graphic card..like any tool ..software or benchmark which will help me in this regard...

if you have a 4870 1gb you must tells us the ram of your computer the core and the other parts of your computer to tell you if your 550w is enough
