550W is powerful enough for all of today's high powered video cards.
The HD 4850 is about the best you can get in that price range. This would be a nice choice:

well depends on the amps on 12V as I have seen some 500+W that aren't exactly up to snuff with that.
but for most cards in that price range, if the amps on 12V are enough, then it should work fine for a single card setup
