I think 550W is really low because i may add some stuff to the PC later, but thank you bro ;)

Unless you use 2 graphics cards or some X platform CPU, 550w is more than enough.

Can i ask why ur using 660? :D

Because my graphics card has some serious coil whine, and many people suggest that a high wattage PSU (and low voltage ripple) can solve the problem. They are fking wrong.

Yes, with that PSU you should replace it.

 

There is no need for 750W and all you need is a good 450-550W like Bitfenix Formula, be quiet Straight Power 11 is more than enough.

Because there are no ~550W Seasonic X/P Series for decades that aren't fanless.

That is the only non fanless unit of that series that's around 550W:

Yes, most people have no idea about PSU and are just shouting out outright false Information.

 

Wattage has nothing to do with Coil Whine, in many cases its just being unlucky, though some PSU Layouts are more prone to Coil Whine than others are...
