Just to make sure I was wondering if my 550W Cooler Master RS-550-ACYL will power a system I planning on building since I would rather not buy a new one.

Includes:
ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 MicroATX Motherboard
AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition
3x 120mm Fans
1x 80mm Fan
1x 200mm Fan
2x 2GB Corsair 1600MHz RAM

I also may add an IceQ Radeon HD 5750 vid card.

Thanks!

Personally i wouldn't chance an older or newer budget CM psu with my new hardware.
It will have enough power to run your system.
I would save and recommend a newer and more efficient unit sooner then later.

I agree with Davcon. CM isn't known for making great PSUs, but that one should hold up for a while. When you have the money, get a Corsair, XFX, Antec, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, or new OCZ PSUs. (New OCZ PSUs are PC Power and Cooling and Corsair, XFX, and Antec are all Seasonic PSUs)

Okay so I ended up picking myself up a Antec TP-650 650W PSU. I also ended up editing my build a bit for cost and other reasons. My build now consists of:

Asus M4A88TD-M/USB3 MicroATX Motherboard
AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition
Radeon HD 6850
2x 120mm Fans
1x 92mm Vantec TD9238H 92mm Fan
2x 2GB DDR3 Corsair XMS 1333MHz RAM

I assume the new PSU will have no trouble running this but I just want to be certain, Thanks!

plenty of power in your new antec for that build. you can even add a second ATI 6850 if you wanted to.
