My current system specs:

128GB SSD + 250GB HDD
Cooler Master GX 550W

Thank you for your help! :)

The CM GX 550 is not a good power supply.
It is listed in tier 4 on this list.

Meaning it is not to be stressed to full output. or it will not provide stable power.
It is up to you if you want to chance it damaging hardware.

I would suggest any power supply in tier 3 and above. in the 550-600 watt range.
