I was planning on getting a EVGA 780ti and was wondering if I maybe needed a better Power Supply? I currently have a Rosewill HIVE series 550w PSU. Will it be able to handle a 780ti (Super Clocked) with my current parts?

Current Parts
Mobo: Gigabyte z87-D3HP-CF
GFX: Sapphire 7950
CPU: i5 4670k (Stock speed)
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 550w

The TDP for the 780 Ti is 250 watts. Does your PSU come with a 6 pin and 8 pin connector? The 780 ti will work perfectly fine on it.
Here's a guide that I believe will assist you further with your question.

550w is much more than enough and the HIVE is very good. There's no point in upgrading.

What you have is perfect, unless you have a GTX Titan, you won't need more than ~600W unless you have a Crossfire or SLI setup.

The Titan actually consumes less power than the 780 Ti.

Really!? I checked on newegg and it didn't show a power consumption number to reference from. Funny because the Titan is still the successor.. Thanks for the info!

I don't doubt it, but I have a good amount of knowledge on this topic.

@r00t

I just looked up the cards on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] looks like the 780 Ti is a bit better! I didn't even know the 780 Ti was out yet till you said so. (Haven't been keeping up with the new cards as much).

Yes, the 780 and 780 Ti are gaming cards while the Titan has full FP64 performance. Buying the Titan for gaming is a complete waste of money unless you somehow can make use of all the VRAM. The Titan was a tease when it released.

Yeah the 780 and Ti are gaming cards but the Titan is fully capable of running every game but it is overpriced, but yeah it is completely overpriced!
