Indeed. But like I said, because I don't know the rest of his system, I'd say follow their guidelines in this case.

 

If he gave us details on the rig it's going into, I could give a more accurate answer.

well if he has an overclocked 5960X and a huge raid-array that could be true, but I think in most cases 55W would be fine.

 

 

well, I'm Planning on this,

 

i5 4590

Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H

8GB G-skill Ripjaws X

WD Blue 1TB

Armageddon Nanotron T1x

3x 120mm fans

Yes, 550W will be fine.

Sapphire recommends at LEAST a 750w power supply with that card. I'd follow that guideline.

The projects never end in my line of work.

I'm still not sure of you're kidding, forgive me if my sarcasm detector is a little rusty, but in case you're not kidding: The PSU recommendations for GPUs are always EXTREMELY exaggerated. You could easily power a 280X with a 500W or even a good 450W PSU.
