It's fine.
System with i5 7400 (or Ryzen 3600) + RX 5700 XT will only need about 350W or so max. 550W is more than enough.
You can ignore what the GPU manufacturers say on the box. How would the GPU manufcaturer know what CPU you're using, how many HDDs you have, how many case fans you have... ? They have no way of giving you an estimation for how much power you will require since they only know the power consumption of ONE part of your system. The rest is unknown to them.
I wish they would stop putting bullshit on the box and instead just write how much the card itself uses.
