whether it works or not you would have to assemble it and turn it on to see.

I mean, whether it'll work or not and whether the parts are good choices or not are 2 different things.

No, I have not ordered. What's wrong with a VS550? Remember, I'm new to this.

It's quite an old PSU, and you could probably go with something like a CX450M.

Just overall poor quality. Not worth it in the slightest. What's your overall budget?

Alright, I'll look into a CX450M. Any non-PSU-related Problems?

I know, but I didn't want to take any risks when choosing the parts due to my lack of knowledge, so I'm aware that my build is sub-optimal.

Something like this is a good starter build for around your budget:

GPU should be either a 480 or 1060 at this price range, just get whicher is cheaper and make sure it's either the 8GB version for the 480 and 6GB for the 1060. This is to just be used as a backbone, since I know part availability will differ.
