Hello and sorry if this was asked before,
I plan to build a Ryzen computer with these parts :
KFA² EX GTX 1070
2x4go DDR4 2400Mhz
NZXT S340 ELITE
Deepcool CAPTAIN 240EX
2 500go HDD and 1 120go SSD
And a 95W Ryzen processor

I plan to overclock my cpu and my gpu and I want to be sure that the corsair VS550W will be enough, so I ask to you !

Thanks !

In short answer, no it probably won't.

Although the total Wattage may be tempting, the quality of that PSU is not.

For gaming build it's not recommend, much less for overclocking ones.

I don't know how much energy Ryzen CPUs will consume, but judging by their older units, i would invest in a better PSU to safely overclock either GPU and CPU.

See this list for more info:

Try to stick between Tier 1 or 2 with at least 550W.

Why would you even consider building with Zen when it has not been released and no real benchmarks are out? That as of now is a very bad plan.

Well the TDP of a 6cores/12threads is the same ( not overclocked) as the 6600k so if Zen doesn't work well, I'll buy the 6600k
