Need help making sure I'm going to buy the right PSU.
General Nick:
I'm looking to upgrade my power supply just for getting a little ahead and making sure everything is going fine with my computer.
I'm thinking of buying this 550W power supply, but I'm not sure if I should.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte S-Series GA-EP43-DS3L, and my power supply powers an Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 2.66 GHz, a 9800GT with a 6 pin PCI connector, 2 sticks of 1GB RAM both running at 677 MHz, and a 2GB stick at 800 MHz. It also powers a hard drive and DVD-R drive.
Here is a picture of the current power supply specs.
My question is, am I buying the right power supply, or do I even need an upgrade?

Bit low powered for a 9800 isn't it?
Mr.Patrick:
I have a 1200watt PSU in one of my computers :V

Yeah sorta :/
I also bought a 400w PSU when RW gave me a list of a good system (which I bought and now using), but that was when I found out I already had a 400w PSU and didn't need it. Un/fortunately, my brother's alienware stuff laptop broke down totally and his warranty ran out, so he brought his desktop from the dead (even if he still had a 5500 FX still in it lol), and he took my old system stuff and the new power supply and paid me back $60, being that he just bought the PSU from me and I gave him the old parts.
General Nick:
Bump for needed help. I want to buy this by the end of today if possible.
