I think it should have enough power.
Here's a question though.
Do you want to trust your new CPU and GPU with an older PSU?
It's a judgement call. The PSU may last an not hurt anything...or it could crap out and take everything with it.
A new quality PSU is less likely to do this.

550 watts is enough. Is the CX on the PSU in green or is it CX in black lettering on white font?

550 watts is enough yeah but you have to understand that the CX is an entry level PSU in the Corsair family. This is an ok PSU with a 3 years warranty.

The GPU draws 100 watts...the CPU 65 watts. It will be enough.

That PSU is a good solid budget unit and is more wattage than you even need to run that. Totally fine.

You will be perfectly fine, with that PSU, and that hardware.

I concur that it's fine. It's a good budget PSU and while it will eventually die and sooner, on-average, than a top-of-the-line PSU, it ought not take out anything with it. Given the PSU prices right now, I'm not sure you really get value in replacing it anyway.
