Hey there,

Well, you certainly have a good PSU. It's the min wattage recommended for a RTX2070. With that said, unless you are going to try overclock CPU/GPU then i wouldn't imagine you'd get close to 550w full draw. So you would be fine.

If overclocking, maybe consider a 650w which gives some headroom.

For PSU's, I like to go with about 20% more power than the system requires to allow for additional hardware, or OC'ing, which I enjoy.
