*Updated* Is this power supply compatible with this gpu?

[johncatman]

I ordered these both and was hoping they are compatible, Power Supply (Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply), GPU (MSI R6870 Hawk Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity), Thanks in advance

Will the 550w power supply, and gpu work with my motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard) Thanks in advance again

Yes, it's all compatible.

For a system using a single Radeon HD 6870 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater power supply. The power supply should also have a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The Antec Basiq Series 550 Watt (BP550 Plus), with its combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 32 Amps and with one 6-pin and one (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, meets the minimum power supply requirements.

Sounds awesome

Do you need to check compatibility with any other parts you're going to carry over into the upgrade?

No 'mystery parts' of dubious origins.
Everything should work together nicely.
