Wattage wise the power supply will be more than enough for that GPU. Quality wise though, it is in Tier D of the PSU Tier (linked below), if you can, try to get a higher quality power supply. 

 

 

 

Would this be better? https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-General-Purpose/CV-Series™/p/CP-9020210-NA

That one looks to be in Tier C, so yes it is a better choice than the thermal take one.

The cv550 is mediocre. Heck the 650 version is on a different platform and is generally better. 

As a budget option. A cx550 or a system power 9 500w/400w are decent. 

Budget? Any site we can check?

Modular. Wattage. Brand. Efficiency. Have nothing to do with quality. But this seems like a great unit at least according to the list. 

Though a 750w is overkill, you can probably save some money with a lower wattge one.

In Win PB650 (it's pre-order, though, currently) https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/k8wkcf/in-win-pb-650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-pb-650w

you don't exactly need a 650w unit, but it's one of the best units in your price range

It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt,

but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, 

what will become, of that, which you have earned
