I was looking through it's requirements and noticed that it said "Min. Power Supply: 500 Watts" and that my Power pack is only 550 Watts, then on further investigation it also said "Max TDP: 170 Watts"

Does this mean that the graphics card needs to be connected to a 500+ Watt power pack, but only uses 170 Watts?

Will my 550 Watt power pack work?
 
Solution
TDP represents how much heat it can handle, talking about the gpu at least.
As for power those ratings are a bit high, so a quality 550 will do fine.
