Recommended power supply (gpu)

[Woodini]

I am thinking about buying the sapphire r9 nitro 4gb gpu,but i am not sure about my PSU.I have a 550 W PSU and sapphire recommends a 500 W.My pc specs are:
Motherboard:MSI 760 GM-P23 FX
CPU:AMD FX unlocked 6300
RAM:2x ddr3 transcend 4gb dimm 1333 retail
(My current gpu):Sapphire AMD Radeon 7770 1gb ghz edition.
Do you think my psu can handle it?
Feel free to correct me and thanks for reading

If that's the R9 380, a good quality 550 watt PSU should be enough. Cheap power supplies often don't have enough amps on the 12v rail, regardless of how many watts they advertise.

If you have a poor quality PSU, I would replace it no matter what GPU you use. They are more likely to fail and damage your other components. For a gaming system, you really want one from Tier 1 or 2 from the list above. Something like the Seasonic S12II 620 or XFX TS 550 should do the trick and aren't terribly expensive.
