It is a good PSU, but what upgrades will you use? 550w is already more than enough for something like a R7 2700x and 1080ti pair.

Its a great unit. Should work perfectly for you for years to come. Only problem is it may not be able to do SLI/Xfire, but those are dying standards so doesnt really matter these days with as powerful as graphics cards are getting.

i have this exact psu (550w), it's perfect, i have it since about 4-5 months, some youtube videos showed there was a kind of sound coming from the fan or internals, but i don't have this issue, maybe they corrected it, anyway, i have a 8600k and a gtx1080 running on it and everything works perfectly, can't even hear it while gaming in my Meshify c right besides me so, for me it is about the best deal you can get (i paid 75$ for it new (100$ - 25$ mail-in rebate)). Plus, it comes with velcro straps for cable management. Only one con for me, the cables have some kind of thing just before the mobo and gpu plugs that makes it pretty ugly to watch through my case's window, but i got the tinted glass so only rgb comes through.

That unit will be fine. 450W is enough for your PC right now, 550W would still be plenty if you upgraded your GPU and CPU.

550W would be enough. It's a good PSU though.
