hi all, i'm planning to upgrade from a 1070 to a 3070, does my 550w psu (corsair tx550m) hold a 3070 and a i5 8600k (no overclock on both)?

tx550m is pretty high quality, it shoudl work if you use 2 seperate cables to power the gpu instead of one daisy chained cable

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

My RTX 3070 stock at full load draws ~245-250W total board power according to GPU-Z so it'll depend on what cpu you have and whether you plan on overclocking. TX550 is probably fine with an 8600K at stock, but if there are any severe power spikes like there can be with the RTX 3080 (haven't heard of this being a problem with the 3070) there's a chance your psu shuts off. No harm in trying, if you have problems you can always just upgrade.
