@OP: it is good enough for your current config.
Upgrading might cause problem(s) for you though.

It is rated at peak. It isn't 550w PSU. It's fine. Not exactly crap.

You could have done a lot better though.

its a FSP relabeled PSU. most likely Saga/II series. thats why it cost same or less than the 500W PSU from FSP.

Click to expand...

Its got dual +12V rails supplying 18A each. The combined output would never be 36A as stated on the label. So its not even a 450W PSU, F*cking liars! (Gigabyte, I mean, not you)
