The card you have is a low power card intended for the sort of upgrade you propose. Some versions of the card, but not all, and not the one you have linked to, require no external power. The card needs only about 60W of power.

The card you have selected needs an extra 6 pin PCIe connector from the power supply.

You will not need 550W, or even the recommended 400W provided you choose a good PSU. The 400W requirement is to cover the manufacturer against the effects of shoddy power supplies.

This PSU would be plenty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

The XFX mentioned above can be cheaper at other vendors.
