The system looks good, no problems there. The power supply is WEAK!! Get a Corsair TX750W, or equialent.

If the Logisys 550 is the PSU you already have, I'd say it's too small. It has a +12 volt rating of 25 amps, and the video card manufacturer recommends a PSU with a minimum of 22 amps on the +12 volt rail. Add the requirements of all the other hardware and IMO you're over the top.

I've learned from experience a PSU is the LAST place you should compromise. Short answer to your last question: NO. Everything should "light up", but underpowering a system causes all sorts of weird problems and undue strain on the hardware.

do you give it a chance to recover? that screen is normal when installing gfx drivers.You could try installing in safe mode the gfx will not initialise then.Or just wait till you get enough power
