hi guys im wondering if my PSU is strong enough to run my pc ? i was planning to buy a seasonic 620 W but its not available for quiet some time now so i have to go with a corsair. In your opinion/ knowledge would my pc run properly? I think im at the edge with the power supply

Thx in advance

Corsair CS Series CS550M 550W

Corsair Carbide Series 500R

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Corsair vengeance 1600Mhz 2 x 4GB

ASUS Z87-A
Intel Core i5 4670K / 3.4 GHz

Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH

ASUS GeForce GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 - 2GB

You should be perfectly fine. I wouldn't change power supply unless you were adding a second GTX 770.

Your PSU is rated for 43 Amps on the +12v rail, which comes out to 516W.

Your CPU is rated for 84W
Your GPU is rated for 230W
So your 2 biggest consumers add up to 314W under stock conditions, and you should be fine overclocking with 200W of headroom.
Straight and simple answer " YES " ,
but the PSU can handle only a few clicks top of overclocking(so do take care while OC'ing the CPU).
If u want most out of OC CPU go for higher PSU like 600W and above would be enough and on safer side.
