Do I have enough power?

[carlgeis]

I currently have a ANTEC TRUEPOWER NEW 550W MODULAR PSU. I am curious if it would support crossfire HD 5850's I already have one. My system is i7 860, P55A-UD3R motherboard (supports Crossfire, 4GB of ram and the case is Lancool Dragonlord PC-K62. Thanks for the help

No it is not enough for crossfired 5850s, we generally recommend a good 750W unit for crossfired 5850s.

Manufacturers recommend 600watt for HD5850 in crossfire. Here is HIS version "500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual mode)"
