I have almost exactly the same build as yours. I think it should be fine. Are you planning to OC that CPU though, if you do you might need a larger Power supply,.

Any plans to add another GPU? 550W might not be enough for 1 more GPU. Anyway, Can consider adding in a SSD just to put windows and key application in it. Way faster than HDD.

Im not very sure, its better to buy more powerful PSU than have a psu working almost to its limit.
