Can my psu handle this?

[Loopeus]

This is my first time posting, sorry in advance if this is in the wrong section.
I want to add an SSD, probably a samsung 840 pro, and I'm also gonna add a vga cooler, definitely this - http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Xtreme-7970-Cooler/dp/B0074VVK52 but i'm not sure if I have a good enough psu.
I'm not sure what info you need about my build, so i'll list everything.
This might be a dumb question but I'm not very experienced yet.

Cooler master is no longer the brand for decent power supplies.

I would recommend getting a 650w or even a 750w psu. (650 watts is perfectly fine where your at) 550watts is cutting it kind of low imo.

Corsair's 38 Amps on the +12V is sufficient for 7950.
How ever for future proofing sake, if you wanna plan to O.C and SLI, XFX 750watt Pro is what you need with tremendous 62 Amps on the +12V rail and 80+ Silver.

Thats just my take on it. I like having a little more bit more of breathing room for the future.

1000 watts is unnecessary. Raidmax is not exactly favorable either.
Brands I would look out for would be: Corsair, Seasonic, and XFX

1000watt is an OVER KILL for 7950.
I do not recommend a thousand watt unless you are running GTX 690's in SLI, or maybe more.
500watt for a single card and for future-thingy, 750watt should be fine in every aspect.

thanks for your help guys, like extreme said, i looked for corsair and found this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051&ignorebbr=1 looks good right?

also on a side note, a little while after installing my 7950, my psu has started to make a buzzing noise, it goes away when I tap on it, any idea what it could be?

Yes good enough

Your PSU is struggling to keep up with you card hence the psu fan makes the buzzing noise. You need to upgrade your psu.
