Hello, I'm about to buy the parts for a new build but I'm not sure about the PSU, how much power the build needs.

CPU:Intel Core i3 8100
MB:Asus Z170-A
RAM:Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB DDR4 2400
GPU Palit Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Dual OC NE5105TS18G1D
Storage:Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB + WD Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" SATA ΙΙΙ WD10EZEX
Case:Thermaltake Versa H22 Window
Cooling:CPU Stock Cooler, 3xAerocool Dark Force 120mm Case fans

At first I was considering buying the Corsair RMx Series RM650X PSU but now I changed my mind to the Corsair RMx Series RM550X. Will the 550W PSU be enough even for a future upgrade?

Thank you for your time

The 550W will be plenty, I have a suggestion on those parts. If your not planning on overclocking (8100 is locked) then I'd change the motherboard to a H310 or B360 and use the savings for a 240gb+ SSD as 120gb will run out quick, even with just the OS.

EDIT: The CPU is incompatible with that motherboard, you'd need the H310/B360/H370 or Z370 motherboard.

It's not a BIOS update, your correct though that it won't work, only the H310/B360/H370 or Z370 motherboards will work with that CPU.
