Looking to replace my shitty jumbled together Sandy Bridge i3 box with something a little more capable, most likely to last me the next several years. I don't really game that much; mostly Adobe programs and general usage tasks but maybe a little bit every now and then. The GF is giving me her old 7870 Myst so I'll just use that; can't beat free. Also, I have a 1TB HDD I can recycle from the old system.
What do y'all think? Haven't built a PC with new parts since... well, it had a Q6600 in it.

might run out of juice if you overclock. Tahiti loves power.

Hmm, good point. I googled around to see how much power the card consumes and came to ~370 watts at full load with the card. Think 550 would be enough?

550w should be fine.
