Do I need to upgrade my PSU?

AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE 3.40GHz (Gonna overclock)
Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P
8GB GeIL Black Dragon RAM
CiT 550W PSU.
7850 TWIN FROZ 2GB OC
Coolermaster 430 Elite Case

Do I need a different PSU? (Those are upgraded specs, currently have GTX 460 1gb and non overclocked CPU)

So the Seasonic is the best one for the price?

Okay guys, the PSU is out of stock therefore I need a replacement.

Links would be appreciated, I really don't want to spend too much money

Hmm I think I'll just get the 600W Since it's less expensive :-)

I would personally advise against the Builder series. They are fairly expensive for what you get. The quality of the products is lower than most similar costed ones and it is not modular. A PC P&C 500W Modular for a similar price would be my option.

Thanks, do you have any links of any other ones you suggest? I don't want to spend above £55 tbh

I still have the same PSU, but the card + cooler has arrived. Can my PSU handle these without overclocking?
