Hiya all,

Currently running a XFX Pro550W Core PSU for my rig (in the sig below)

Wanting to upgrade my PSU so I got a bit of headroom for OC'ing.

550w is more than enough for Over clocking your rig.

550w will be ok, I doube you see 350w

I run a Overclocked 2700k with a 670 GTX WF, several hard drives and custom water and this pulled 330w from the mains with Furmark and Prime running.

The BeQuiet isn't better than your psu. Your psu is a quality unit built by Seasonic with 528w on the 12v rail. The Bequiet is a mediocre unit built by HEC with only 564w on the 12v rail. Ignore the label on a psu stating total power and look up what a psu can actually deliver on the 12v rail where it counts. This is a excellent reference site with links to reviews.
