What kind of PSU

Hey, just got a new system:

Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
Antec TruePower Trio 550W ATX PSU
Corsair Twin2x 2048 (2x1024 sticks) DDR2 XMS2-6400
Inno3D nVidia 8800GT 512mb PCI-16x 600/1800MHz
Asus PK5-SE LGA775 P35 Board
500GB Samsung SATA 2 HDD
2x 500GB Seagate SATA 2 HDD

Anyone think that I would need a stronger PSU?

Re: What kind of PSU

You need a more powerful power supply IMHO. I recommend a bare minimum of a 650 to 700 watt for this rig and here is a list of great power supplies:

Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model
