I was checking out my system build on pc part picker and it said that the entire build would need at least a 450w watt power supply and I have a 550w power supply. How many more watts will it use?

Depends on if you're going to overclock. If you need to just power your PC I'd suggest to get a 650w to help.

System specs? Power supply?

 

There's more to a PSU than just wattage.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
