Blew your wad on the GPU and didn't have enough money for a better PSU?  ;)

 

550W is fine if it's a better 550W.  If you insist on a modular PSU, get the TX550M, RM550x or the RM650 instead.

 

If modular cables isn't important, get the CX550 (no M at the end).  The non-M is actually newer than the "M" version.

 

EDIT:  Keep in mind that that board has an 8-pin and 4-pin for CPU power.  Odds are that the 8-pin will be more than adequate, but if you want/need to populate both, you need to make sure your power supply has both cables (and currently, yours does not).

550W IS enough.  One guy suggested 650W and the rest of us can't figure out why they said that. 

 

The motherboard you linked in your last parts list only has a single 8-pin for CPU power. 

 

So you look good right now. 

Thank you very much for helping me and sorry if i didnt explained myself xD
