Here is a useful guide on the wattage needed:

You could consider more than 550w.
Modern graphics cards such as the 3000 series often experience high power surges, and a more powerful PSU will handle it better.
Eventually, your best upgrade will likely be a more capable graphics card.
I might invest in a 650/750 or even 850w unit.
The extra expense for higher capacity is generally minimal.
A PSU only uses the power it receives, no matter how much capacity you choose.
It’s smart to opt for a reliable PSU with a 7-year warranty.

Disappointing, but useful. I’ll need to look for another source.
PSU wattage calculators are extremely precise, though the numbers they give are rarely clear.
In general, the power you require is limited by the potential the GPU consumes.
The minimum might be around 200w, but more if you plan heavy overclocking.
The key factor is the GPU itself.
Some options use just the motherboard’s PCIe slot for power, at about 75w.
Each of the eight pin connectors the GPU needs adds roughly 150w more.
