This is my build : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/c3wmCy

 

Ontop of those components, I run 3 high-end USB devices ( steeseries keyboard, mouse + headset ) and 3 monitors. I want to overclock to around 4.5 GHZ and maybe get another SSD. Will the PSU COMFERTABLY support this? I don't want to be on 549W / 550W. Should I return the PSU ( It's new ) and get a 650?

You'll be fine. The parts all together aren't getting anywhere close to 550W with everything under max load and heavily overclocked.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

A decent 400W would already be enough for the time being, but for efficiency's sake, this 550 should be almost perfect. It'll stay nice and cool too. No worries.

Any USB device that would draw excess power would have it's own power brick (such as my G19 keyboard).

Monitors have their own power supplies - they don't affect the computers power supply.

That power supply will do fine.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

No need to replace the PSU, you're fine. 

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
