Regarding to your specs, I would recommend a "Corsair CMPSU-620HX" PSU.

An important thing to realize is the higher up you Run your PSU to its max capacity the more stress on all its internals and the shorter the lifespan it has. As well you start to hurt the efficency numbers too.

Antec Truepower 550W is more than enough for that system, the 955BE uses about 125w, the 5850 uses another 250w at max power, so that adds up to 375w, and allows another 175w for other parts. Of course it depends on how the wattage comes from (12v rails being the most important) but generally it should be enough without stressing it with things like massive ocing. Getting a overrated psu is going to reduce the efficiency of the psu itself, so you would want to go for no more than 600W unless you plan to xfire the system.
Actually, the 5850 uses far less power than that. More like 120W less, even at absolute max.

The real results is somebody... who has that card! Getting the results live is better...
Oh well... too much internet research is overtaking everyone's mind...
Ahem... its only a joke...
thanks for that infoSee my system specs...
I have a Kill-A-Watt meter, my PC is plugged right into it.
I have never seen it go above 420w under heavy CPU & GPU loads, and that doesn't take into account the PSU efficiency, so the PC is drawing less than that. It idles around 200w.
I say you'd be fine.

Any PSU I buy for myself or a client I ensure that I will never take more then 75% of its max capacity at once.
Just a thought.

Actually that's wrong, power supplies are most efficient around the 70-80% available power scale. Lower is less efficient and higher is less efficient. At least on most models.
Also I power my system with an HX620 and From the wall I never pull more than 500 watts through the Kill-A-Watt. With my system full overclocked and all. So a 550 will be more than enough to power that system overclocked.

Kill-A-Watt is very inaccurate. I would trust an actual Watt Meter or APC Load Meter over that.
