I recently built a new PC, but I was sent the wrong PSU.

First, here are my specs:

-Fractal Node 304
-AsRock z77e-itx
-i5-3570k
-Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4gb
-MSI GTX 770 N770 TF 2GD5/OC
-Samsung 840pro SSD 128gb

I received a SilverStone 550w 80gold certified power supply. Is it safe to install this, or should I get a more powerful one?
What wattage would you recommend?

Thanks.
