550w is unnecessarily high. Most top-end graphics cards recommend 400w power supplies, and anything above that will do fine. So I suggest something between 400-500 watts, plus a new GPU.

Huh. Not really. My HD 5770 requires that I at least have a 500w psu. My card is not even top of the line. 550w is not that high. Have you ever tried using a PSU calculator? It is very hard to make a reasonable build requiring less than 450w.  At the very least, get a 450w psu. 

Interesting. Well my GTX 550 Ti, which is a little better than the 5770, only requires 400w. Similarly my CPU only needs 95w. I originally built my most recent computer with a 650w power supply, but found that it was unnecessarily high, and actually downgraded to a quieter 430w without any negative consequences.
