I just received an i7 4790k and a Z97 motherboard for Christmas and was thinking about whether I should upgrade my 550W power supply.

This system with one 7950 only requires 500 watts.

Only if you're using the identical GPU.

Corsair 550w had a bronze certificate, and my GPU is an MSI Radeon 7590 with 3gb RAM, not overclocked. I also have two monitors.

I recall the Corsair 550w had a bronze certificate, and my GPU is an MSI Radeon 7590 with 3gb RAM, not overclocked. I also have two monitors. Just checking. That one is fine. There are other models where I would have suggested changing it, even without hardware upgrades.
