hi, Im planing/ buying my first build, I'm on quite a tight budget and uncertain on what psu i should buy would the corsair vs550 be a good choice, or something similar at the same price, the reviews and forums have me confused, I'll include a pc part picker link and I'mm open to any advice, such as compatibility and bottlenecks, this will be a purely gaming and browsing pc and Im planning to do a much bigger build when I leave home in 2 years or so, so longevity isn't a necessity, as Im on a tight budget so please no "just get a i7 and a gtx titan" comments plx had enough of those lol

Maybe on the RAM you could swap it out for 1 stick of 8gb memory as opposed to dual channel 2x4gb. On amazon one 8gb stick of hyperX is £3 cheaper though it's a little it's a difference and with the power supply try one of those sites linus uses for PSU reviews. though I can never their names

Just my opinion here: If I was on a tight budget I wouldn't build that, I would go the used route and grab a sandybridge i5 cpu any decent-ish lga1155 motherboard to go along with it.   It will be a better fit for your 780 i think, fewer bottlenecks and an overall more balanced system.

 

For the psu any reputable brand should be ok,  I personally like seasonic, corsair, and silverstone. The more expensive models can be quieter and more efficient and maybe they will last a bit longer, but don't worry about getting a basic one as long as it's from a reputable brand, you should be ok.

hi thanks for the help, from a quick look even used i5s seem to be as expensive as the 860k would you recommend going for the used intel over the new amd,

I stand by my previous post.  I think the used i5 is a better choice.
