Is the psu compatible with my graphic card?

Solution
the recommended high wattage for a PSU by graphics card manufacturers is just to be sure it will run without problems, even if a crappy PSU is installed. The TDP of a 1060 is 120W, the rest of the system will draw like 100-200W at max. and therefore even a good 350W PSU would be fine.

The GTX 1060's recommended PSU wattage is 400W, 550W is above recommended and therefore is compatible. Its also has 2 PCI-E connectors which is enough for the 1060 aswell.
