Depends on the game you are trying to play.. Some need more CPU speed than others
Suggest you google it......

Like lodders said it will be game dependent, here's a guide/tutorial on how to figure it out.

The XFX TS 550W is a good quality unit and will be enough to power that system.

Holy S**t. Did 2 people in a row just respond with the correct response? Any way, like they said, its game dependent, but for the most part, its not going to bottleneck it. Newer games have had an easier time with processors, and your limitation is almost always the GPU. And a 380 is a nice fast card, especially for the price, but its not a 295x2 so your gonna be graphics limited most of the time.
