Is This PSU Enough?

[Duz7]

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mNZXt6

The GPU in this build reccomends a 500 watt PSU. Would a gold modular 550 watt PSU from Corsair or EVGA be good enough? I am on a budget and would like to spend the least amount possible.

It should be fine, especially given that your build estimates that you'll be well under 550W.
