will my current power supply (antec tp-550) 550W be able to power a gigabyte gtx 570 oc?

the power supply is 80PLUS BRONZE and has quad rail. it Meets manufacturers' performance specifications

it supplies a reliable 45 AMPS of combined power on the 12 rail.. i think its a good quality psu however

gigabyte recommends a 600w power supply for this gpu. is gigabyte overstating the amount of power this gpu will need?

Nearly all manufactures do, to give you some headroom. You will be fine with 550w though.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 @ Stock, CPU cooler: Dark Rock 4, Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX, RAM: 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 @ 3000Mhz, GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0, SSD: Crucial P1 1TB M.2 + 2x120GB SSDs, Case: Corsair 110R, PSU: Corsair TX650M, OS: Windows 10 64-bit.

nvidia recommends trash 550W psu for the whole system with 570. it would have been mentioned 80+ otherwise. couse not everyone has one yet.

Yeah you should be fine, I had a GeForce Gtx 550ti Superclocked 2GB card in my system a while back and only had a 450 watt power supply.
