Go for the 650, I have that PSU now and I've had no problems & as above - if you can for the same price why not.

I have the option to buy both Rm550x and Rm650x for the same price.

 

Which one should I buy?

I want it to last at least for 10 years.

Single GPU (for now) and not overcolcking.

 

Should I go for the 650 for a future proffit? I know that the 650 support up to 2 you while the 550 don't.

 

Current set-up is in my description

If you can get the higher wattage model for the same price, why not get that one?

You might never need that much wattage, but it keeps silent for longer and you have some more connectors.
