Yes, 550W is MORE than enough, even with OC.

CPU (i5-7600K, 91W TDP): OC to 5.0GHz = Max. Power Draw of 111W (or +20W over TDP)

GPU (GTX 1070 FE): Gaming Load = Max. Power Draw of ~310W http://www.anandtech.com/show/10325/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-and-1070-founders-edition-review/30

RAM, HDD, SSD, MB and other components = For headroom purposes only, ~40W

Total Max. Possible Power Draw (given above data) = ~461W (includes A LOT of headroom already for a 550W PSU).
