simple question

simple question b4 i splurge cash for no reason on a new psu.
i have just bought a point of view gtx280(the assasins creed one), would my current psu which is 550watt run it? i know that this is the min spec for 280 cards. the ampage across the 12v rails is 38A. i just want to know if the card will work in the meantime while i save for a better psu.

so this 40A required business for the card is not that important?
as to not getting this gpu, already ordered! nearly went for the 4870 but was not fussed on the reported high temp settings and prefer nvidia drivers. went with radeon once and it was a nightmare! was a close call between the cards tho.
