I agree with whoever said: buy a quad core capable motherboard and only put two cores in it for now.

that was me, and i said that because this is exactly what i did when i built my machine back in january, so personal experience 
now as for psu of 550w just like chuck said, if its a brand like antec you should be ok... but if its some unknown shitty brand you might be screwed. but if you are planning on going sli or crossfire (adding a second vid card into your rig) then you should look into 650w.
thats just my suggestion.
because later on you might want a better cpu and max your mobo out on ram... plus get the other vid card and then your 550w might not power all that for you.
