Artic power 700W (BAD)!!!!

I am looking to upgrading my PSU first before upgrading my graphics card, I have just been paid and only have enough for a good quality PSU I am currently looking at this one.

Corsair PSU 550W VX550W ATX12V v2.25 year manufacturer's warranty

Is there enough wattage to support the power requirements of all the components or am i better off getting this one?

Corsair PSU 650W CMPSU-650TX ATX12V v2.2 5 year manufacturer's warranty

Regards Hallam:)

corsair 450w would be fine for that config, i'd go for the 650w if you plan to upgrade the gfx to a 4870 or similar.
