Thought I had a 750 but only have a 550 watt powe supply. Don't think it will work or at least run well with this system. Suggestions much appreciated!

I just did some googling and it looks like 550 watt is enough for this type of build. It's a 3-4 year old power supply so not sure if that matters.

If anyone can confirm or give some tips ill give them best answer. Thanks!

capacitors do age, so that is a factor. but nowadays 550w is the sweet spot as long as it is a decent one

It's an antec tp3-550.

Looking at it right now. Lots of specs. Anything to determine if it really will be ok? What's the worst that happen?

Thanks
