The SAPPHIRE HD 7850 2GB OC GDDR5 requires two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The Seasonic G Series 550W (SS-550RM), with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 45 Amps and with two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is more than sufficient to power your system configuration with a single Radeon HD 7850.

For a system using a single reference clocked Radeon HD 7850 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 27 Amps or greater and have at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector. Some of the non-reference design Radeon HD 7850 graphics cards require at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

What is the brand and model of your Radeon HD 7850 graphics card and what is the budget range for the power supply unit?
