550W enough, or need more juice?

Corsair or SuperFlower?

ok thanks guys, I had an eye on that one, reviews look really good for it.

one more question: in HWMonitor, my power readings for CPU are fluctuating quite a lot (1.28-1.32V), despite CPU voltage being set to 1.30V in motherboard BIOS. is this usual, or sign of a power supply that's on its way out? I don't remember seeing this in the past, but maybe an update to HW monitor or something made the readings more accurate?

I have an OCZ PSU, but it was one of the decent ones, I have had it for quite a while now, at least 5 yrs, so just wondering if it would be a good idea to get a new one just to be safe?
