you should be fine with a 550w..

i run a XFX 7800gt, 3 hard drives, 2gb ram on a 550w supply and never have power issues.

It's like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Admittedly, I haven't used any of their products since my P3 days, but I used 2 mobos back then for budget machines and had issues with bad solder points causing weak connection on embedded components. I sowre away from them since.
