System Specs

The only good CM PSUs are the Silent and Hybrid lines. With the Extremes and Elites you have to shave of about 60w from its stated wattage (the Elite 460 is a 400w unit for example).

In this case the Extreme Power 550 is actually better than the 600. You can draw about 490w from the Extreme 550 without issues.
