No.

I don't know, telling us what PSU you have would help out lots.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

not sure it is a sort-of-prebuilt system and i have just upgraded it over the last couple of years. i just need to know if that is enough wattage.

Thanks

Well I ask as not all 550W units are created equal. If it's from a prebuilt then it's likely an utter pile of trash.
