New pc for rF2

POWER SUPPLY! If the name implies only 550watts your video card might starve for power. Go at least 850w. Yes it will work with a lower number, but why stress a component that everything else relies upon?

It's true that 550w might be too tight. Not more than 850w but something between 750 and 850w would be safer depending on how many external devices are you plugging in. Better buying a good PSU than buying just a lot of watts.
 
Just read an article that claimed the next TITAN Nvidia video card will consume up to 800watts when you include all the fans and mainboard requirements. If folks do plan to upgrade a videocard two or three years down the line, you absolutely will need as much GOLD rated wattage as you can afford.
