ok so i made this system a couple of months ago, but i've been using my old GTS 250 512mb graphics card in it, and i'm hoping to upgrade to a AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB in the next couple of months, i'd buy the new gen, but the 6950 has a higher core clock than the 7870, and its cheaper.
ANYWAY my main question is will my PSU be strong enough to run this card wiht the rest of my system?, these are my PCs specs, with the PSU listed first
PSU: 550Watt XFX ProSeries PSU 80+
CPU: intel I5 3570k
RAM: 16GBs corsair vengeance 1600mhz
MB: MSI Z77
HDD: 1TB seagate
fans: 4 120MMs and 1 220MM one little one has LEDs
would it be strong enough to power these AND the 6950 2GB?...
