i bought the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8gb but i don't know if my power supply is ok.

my PSU is FSP HEXA+ 550w, is it ok to use on my RX580? or should i buy a new PSU?

thanks in advance.
 
Solution
No, that is a low end power supply. It should not be used with your expensive graphics card. I would recommend replacing it with something of equal quality as the graphics card it is being used with. 550w is fine, but THAT 550w power supply is not.
