Hey there 
Thanks for taking the time to read my first post but please forgive me if my question is noob-ish!
I'm building a 'basic' gaming pc from left-over components and was wondering if a Powercool 650w PSU model PC-650AUBA-M would be sufficient to power a Core 2 Quad 6600 running an Asus Geforce model GTX550 ti (1gb, GDDR5) graphics card?
The PSU itself is 80+ certified and looks to have 20a on each of its 12v (it's a dual rail psu).
Like I said, the system itself is pretty basic, in addition to the C2Q CPU there's 4gb ram, with 1 hard drive and 1 DVD RW drive and a memory card reader. I've no intentions of adding another graphics card or any other components that will draw power on the psu.
I plan on using it primarily for older games (Far Cry, FEAR, Doom 3, Quake 4, etc) but was wondering if the PSU would allow games such as Crysis (which I know is heavy on the Graphics Card side) to run without the risk of the system blowing due to excess power used by said game
If not, could someone in the know recommend a PSU thats not going to cost much but will definitely get the job done?
Thanking you in advance
