I need some advice on my PC.

I have just bought an Intel I7 7700k, two memory cards, and a new motherboard, and I am not sure if the air coolers and PSU that I have are enough now

All my components are:
CPU: Intel I7 7700K
RAM: G.SKILL 32GB (2x16GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz Intel Z170 Desktop
Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660
Motherboard: MSI Gaming M3 Z270
SSD: Sandisk 250 GB
Air cooler: 1 Intel E30307, and three extra air cooler (DC fan motor 8025s 12V 0.12A)
PSU: Total WATT: 550W

Do you think any of the components should be upgraded? Is the PSU and air coolers enough for the new CPU and the rest of the components?

Thanks!!

 
No, that air cooler is for a Core 2 Duo, won't work with a LGA 1151 or I7 7700K.

What PSU are you talking about exactly? If it's as old as the Core 2 Duo cooler you will need to replace it.

What air cooler we recommend will depend a lot on what case you are using.
 


The case is "Design COLORSit�ATX-AT9005-C4" which came with its own PSU (SAN-COL-55-B-PFC 550W).
The technical information about the case is:

Form factor: ATX, mATX
Size: Midi Tower
Dimensions (WxHxD): 195x462x550 mm
Weight: 8 kg
The number of the external drive is a 3.5": 2
The number of internal compartments 3,5": 4
Number of bays 5.25-inch: 4
Built-in fans: 1 x 92x92 mm
Designated for additional fans: 2 x 80x80 mm

I was thinking in using the PSU that I already have of 550 WATTS

Was planning to buy a new air cooler for the CPU: CRYORIG H7 Tower Cooler. This will be enough? Any recommendations?
 


After doing some reading, was thinking in buying this PSU:
Corsair RM550x
(550W | 45.8A or 550W at 12V | Fully-Modular | 50C rated oper. temp. | 10-year warranty | OEM: CWT)

The Cryorig H5 is better than the Cryorig H7? whats the difference? Are the same size?
