Will a Corsair vx550w be enough to power this?

[Anubis]

about to finalize some upgrades and i realized i don't know if my current PSU will be enough. Currently have this PSU and its powering my E8400 @ 4GHz just fine along with 3 HDDs, 3 case fans, 4 gigs of ram and a GTX 285

I plan on upgrading to a I7 920 which i will OC but nothing crazy, 6 gigs of ram (3x2) same amount of HDDs same case and the annoying GTX 285

Ive run the PSU calc http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp and it comes out anywhere from 430w with no OC to 530w with a big OC.

I know you take that with a grain of salt. The GTX 285 is what concerns me the most, it draws so much power under full load, and i do a good amount of gaming @ 1920*1200.

Should i just say fuck it and get a larger PSU 650-750w or is it safe to go with what i have.

I never plan on running SLI and don't foresee getting a new video card anytime soon

That power supply should be plenty for your rig. It has really solid power delivery on the +12V rail with 41A, which should be plenty.

Agreed, that power supply should work just fine with that setup.

The VX550 is a beast of a PSU, given it's rating. It'll run that machine without even breaking a sweat.

Should be no problems at all.

I'll give it a 5th thumb up....

41A on 12v rail is a lot for a 550w psu.
