Your graphics card is rated at 170 watts.

I think that Thermaltake is made by Channelwell. I couldn't find a review on it, but I've seen bad reviews for some Thermaltakes.

A 550 watt supply is certainly enough if it's a quality unit. I'd be suspicious of that PSU, but I can't find anything definitive about it.

Edit:

Here's a review

which has this comment:

Bottom line: a no-nonsense power supply that is capable of powering most mid-range PCs for today and tomorrow.

The Good

Solid performance
Nice cabling
Attractive price

The Bad

Voltage regulation droops at extreme load

Here's another review:

Pros

3 Year Warranty
Good voltage regulation
Hybrid/Semi-Modular
Affordable
Good modular cables
Relatively quiet
High Efficiency

Cons

Disappointing ripple suppression relative to competition
Poor Crossload performance – voltage droop and high ripple
Could benefit from more PCIe connectors

Yep they are mostly brands are made by several different companies and Thermaltake not that good in my opinion either and to check the requirements use this
http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp .

To check volts run this HWiNFO, HWiNFO32/64 - Download close the right hand window and click on Sensors scroll down to the motherboard sensor section where it lists the voltages - sorry am on my laptop so cannot give you a pic of what it looks like. The volts should be within +/- 5% of the stated values.
