Do I have enough power?

I installed a GTX 550 Ti on a computer with an Intel i5 2500-K clocked at 3.3 gigahertz and 8 gigs of ram. I have a 750 watt power supply. Is this sufficient power, would you say?

Update:

Cheers for the answer Mike. I raised concern since I heard a clacking noise inside the tower, and I just assumed its my faulty hard drive finally giving in, but I wanted to know whether or not is was that new GPU I got for Christmas today... Hope not, it runs games so well!

    Dude, don't worry about your power supply. A 750 watt power supply can run 2 graphics card. So, relax and enjoy :)
