well the good news is you have a high quality power supply; so "if" any 550 watt unit can pull the wagon; yours will

the only thing I would say is make sure the case cooling is better than most set-ups >>>>>> the PSU gets its air from inside the box, make sure your PSU is not breathing hot video card /cpu air make sure you have atleast 240mm of air intake and at least 200mm of air exaust >>>>>> you should forget any illusions of "quiet" system

go for high rpm 120mm fans that have atleast 2,800 rpm's
