Highly unlikely. To exceed the output of a quality 550w power supply you'd need an ultra-high end gaming PC with
two £500 graphics cards running at full throttle along with a 4-8-core CPU also at 100% at the same time.
That site, like most sites trying to sell you overpowered and overpriced power supplies, overestimates your needs by a huge amount and borders on being a complete lie.
Just to prove how ridiculous it is it thinks my PC needs a 1000w power supply. It's been running just fine off a 430w supply for 5 years. Average usage is 90w while idle, 350 while gaming.
It also thinks my machine at work, a fully certified Dell server with 100% Dell certified and guaranteed components, needs a 750w supply yet Dell supplies it with only a 550w - and it barely uses 120w most of the time.
