nowadays seasonic is one of the best bang for the buck PSU, but if you want a real solid one corsair wont hurt :)

Corsair stuff is usually over priced, and asside from ax series, seasonic is better

Im not that familiar with the monitor pricing in your are but i can recommend a 19inch monitor from Asus,Benq and Viewsonic as for keyboard you can get a corsair mechanical around that amount but its not RGB but its ok.

corsair dont make their psus they just rebrand them only the axi is made by seasonic and the rest i beleive are made by lesser known or lower quality manufacturers

 

OP anything from seasonic will be great and last you a while so just get the seasonic but if you want to save a bit try looking at XFX psu's all of their psu's are made by seasonic and are usually a bit cheaper

not really since you either buy a low quality psu for a small premium or a high end psu for a premium when you can go seasonic, XFX, certain EVGA psu's, most Antec, Delta, and Superflower and be fine and those usually cost less for similar quality

And then again it falls down with your brand preference as long as you have the budget to buy one and also the availability of item in your area

yeah, but when theres a large difference between brands like say $50 difference between to similar quality psu's from different brands i dont see why anyone would get the more expansive one even if its from your prefered brand
