The time to ask these questions is BEFORE you buy.

Fortunately, while not best, your parts will work.

If buying new, you get more for your money with latest gen parts.

I see the corsair VS550 as one weak point.
550w is ok for a GTX1070.
The VS series is tier 5/6 on a quality list like this:

So not really sure why you went with a 7th gen Intel at this point unless you got a really good deal on it, if that's the case then the only issue I see is that power supply. The VS series is really junk and espcially for a higher end system like you have. I would sned that back and pick up either on the budget end a Corsair CX550(not the ones with green elttering)/CX550M or on the higher end a EVGA G3 550 or Seasonic Focus 550.
