This."As budget as possible" is the wrong attitude by the way, this is the component your entire system relies on.
OP: If your budget doesn't allow a quality unit within the wattage range that you need, then don't buy anything until it does. That is, step #1: calculate how many watts you need for your system. I generally go with a "CPU+GPU+100W" formula. Step #2: Buy the highest quality unit within that wattage range.
As for your opening question, 550 W may or may not be enough for a 6650 XT within your current system, depending on the exact PSU model you've got (I don't see your system specs). But if your 12 V dropped while gaming with your old card, then I wouldn't risk it.
