Gx 550w bronze plus able to power I7 7700k n 1080 ti?

[Teo_3_]

Hi
At the moment I have this power supply

http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/gx-series/gx-550w/

Powering my rig that has
Asrock pro4 z170 mobo
I5 6600k
Palit super JETSTREAM 1070
16 gb corsair 2600 mhz ram
2 ssds
And a aio water cooling

I will be upgrading to a
I7 7700k and 1080 ti for 4k gaming..
Just wanna ask, do I need to change my PSu?
The PSu is also 5 years old ( used in my older 2500k system)
** I have updated my mobo bios so it should handle a 7700k
** I have changed graphic cards before, but I have never personally changed processors or power supplies, I intend to use YouTube guides for those.
** if the PSu is not good enough, is it good enough to power 1080 non ti and 7700k?
** lastly I intend to get a superflower LEADEX gold 650w to power the 7700k and 1080ti, that should be efficient right?

Thank you in advance!

I'm on mobile I'm not sure how to edit, but the water cooling I use is

It might be considered liquid cooling not water I'm not sure but it is all in one I think, not the custom one

PSU Tier list tier 1-2 are good for gaming
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II

GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series

Since 5 years old would i just upgrade the psu as well. The next is a good choice for that price at the moment looking via the pcpartpicker,

The evga G2 is $10 more,

Why not just keep using the i5,buy a new gpu+psu and hold off the upgrade for the cpu untill you can do that.At 4k is the cpu in most cases not the limiting factor anyway.

It should power it just fine
However I agree a 5 year old Gx should be replaced when upgrading to such high end components
But if budget is really low with the upgrade and you'll need to wait for next month's paycheck it's not a total disaster

Like said at 4K you might not benefit from that i7 as much as you though so i would keep using the i5 6600k (might even overclock) and first upgrade the psu+gpu.

Sure the psu would be able to power the system. But its 5 years old, and you dont wanna play with fire with that setup...
