Welcome to the forum.

That PSU isn't the greatest, but it does work. I'd recommend getting a new PSU on your next platform upgrade.

It'll be fine to use for the next while, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You should be fine if it's the MWE 80+ V2. It's fine for your current build. If it's not, you shouldn't upgrade any other component until you upgrade the PSU (or start from stratch with a new build, saving the storage and maybe the case).

You know, I forgot to look there. Wait, isn't the GX 550w 80+ Bronze? It's old as fuck and should be replaced ASAP, but I thought it was bronze

 

Edit: I hate Cooler Master...two models with the same name, different efficiencies.

I would whenever you decide to upgrade your PSU.
