Default new PSU for 8800GTS?
Hey I'm thinking about upgrading my gpu from the 7600GT in my sig to the 320mb 8800GTS. (well actually just a better card, but it seems like that might be my best bet for a while.)

my question is...could my 550W PSU (in sig) handle the card? I'm also probably going to be getting a 2nd HD if that would make THAT big of a difference. Thanks in advance.
