Your system can definitely handle a GTX 1080. But I would upgrade to 16gb of ram as 8 won't cut it newer games, especially with a 1080 where the graphics will be maxed out and you'll be getting higher FPS

One more thing was there is 8 pin and 6 pin on gtx 1080 asus card and I have a cable with both 8 pin and 6 pin do I need to connect both or do I need separate cable for 6 pin and 8 pin

Connect both using the same cable. That said, 550w is cutting it slightly close with a 1080 so I definitely wouldn't do any overclocking or increasing the power limit. Luckily the i5 is pretty low tdp so I wouldn't worry about it
