your gonna want a dedicated line for it, especially if you want to oc.
if you have to have anything on the same line, maybe a fan but i would'nt do it.
what brand ps it the 550w you got? if it's generic def. don't do it.

whats the worst that would happen if i did run it. supposidly card goes into a safe mode thing and prompts user to change power settings or summit.
