my list is missing the cooler, the ssd, the keyboard and the mouse. I only had a list of motherboard (not the actual model just chipset so that was a guess on my part), CPU, RAM, and GPU, even then with a 550W power supply you have plenty left for future use/overclocking and the voltages that will require.
the 315W is the total power consumption of all the parts on the list from the PSU, total draw, not idle.
adding another video card will add 150W and you will still be under the 550W PSU limit (465W with 2 GPU's)

I was going to suggest the EVGA g2 but I could not find one in the budget. that would be my choice if you can find the cash, its definitely worth it.
The G3 is an updated version and is even more efficient than the g2.

no that is 260W at full tilt boogey.
CPU 91W at full throttle stock speed.
GPU 150W at full throttle stock speeds
which leaves around 19W for the RAM and motherboard.

Guessing here, a very generous guess that idle would be around 100W maybe
