Change the i7 to i5 if you aren't editing, and get a Z97 Motherboard and 4790K if i7 and i5 4690K if i5 and a good motherboard

would be

Asus maximus Vii Ranger

What do you think about the power supply, do you think 550W is enough?

i'm not sure about that but i'd go with a Quality 600W PSU from Seasonic or Antec

Looks good, just remember to overclock, and if it's just gaming you don't need 16 gigs of ram but you can have it if you want

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.
