not really, the VS 650 is good if you dont need more power then that

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

hx = hxi just without the 'i', which stands for a cable plugged into the usb header, running the Corsair software that doesn't actually work...

No, it is not. 

They are 2 different platforms. 

The HX are Seasonic and the newer ones are CWT and the HXi are a different CWT platform.

It would be a good idea considering I already know your hardware specs... in which a Corsair VS 650 would be a terrible pairing.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
