550W is not enough, 750W is.

GeForce GTX 660 Ti SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

The 750W PSU will also have four PCi-E connectors (2 per card)

thats why i posted the 750w as it had the 4 pcie connectors or would i be better off with the 850 silver for extra couple of quid
