I'm building my first computer and I'm very new to all of this.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI H97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston Blu 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5, 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Case: BitFenix Neos Black/Gold ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair VS 550W ATX Power Supply
These are my components, and I just wanted to know if my power supply will work with the rest of my components, I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I really need help, I'm mainly using this computer for gaming at 1360*768. Thanks for any help :)
 
Solution
It is a great build! Three suggestions though:
1. Get a better quality power supply and a higher wattage one. My suggestion: Seasonic S12-II 620w psu
2. Get a 2x4 set of RAM instead. It will be a bit faster, but it isn't really required if you can't afford it.
3. Go for a 3GB GPU. It will help out alot in games. Possibly this one: Asus R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-V2 or this one: Club 3D CGAX-R928X7.
If your willing to wait till the Jult though, the new AMD GPU's will be out and should undercut the GTX 970's price to a more affordable range ( the 970 is a beast of a card btw)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I was going to get a 280x but in my country that card costs alot more and this is the only power supply that fits my budget and is from a known brand. I will upgrade after 2 years. Also, a friend of mine is giving me that ram for free :)
 


I checked my local markets and the cheapest one costs around 50$ more than this one, I'll switch this one out for a better quality one for sure in about 3 months. Money is an issue
 


I checked my local shops to see if those psu's are available, couldn't find them. 🙁
