VX550 is more than enough, buddy. TX650 would be an overkill, unless you want multi-GPU in the future. Depends, since it will cost more...!
Corsair is good, high speed, well tested RAM.

Both 785 and 790 will run well. 790 is better for OCing. Avoid Biostar boards though, I'm saying this purely due to the lack of 100% solid capacitors. Get MSI 790 board for 7k. Else stick to 785 based boards like MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k or MSI 785GM-E65 @ 5.6k or Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H @ 5.8k. The Gigabyte 785 is my recommendation if you are not into OCing.
VX550W will do just fine. I suggest you look for Antec EA650 @ 4.8k or GlacialPower 650AA @ 4.8k. If not, then have a look @ Seasonic 500W @ 5k. It will be able to power any single GPU system that you throw at it.

Why suggesting a 650W supply buddy. 500W or 550W is more than enough...

Agreed, but PSU prices are really bloated these days. There was a time when people bought VX450W for 3.2k and TX750W for 7k. Look at the prices today.
Hence, those PSU's are really GREAT VFM. Why would you not buy a 650W PSU which gives 88-92% efficiency, that is cheaper than the 550W one? It's like:

I would bet my pants (and underwear) on Tagan, Silverstone, and Corsair only. Do not mind paying the premium for these brands (even if bloated). Man, do not want to risk my expensive stuff on anything else. Plus if OC'ing the risk runs even higher.
I would hate an offer made my Don Corleone -- infact anyone with that sir name..! Obviously you cannot refuse...imagine a gun to your head, and half of Italy's-migrated-to-Chicago mafioso holding that gun.

I would add Seasonic, Antec, Delta and GlacialPower to that list. If you did not know that already, then some Corsair PSU's are Seasonic OEM's. All the above PSU companies are great and totally worth Corleone's gun.
Yea I know about the outsourcing which Corsair does for the internal core of the PSU. OK, I missed out on the power PSU list, but I still bet on the first three I listed. Having read most forums and post with them as prime PSU of choice. Even if slight doubt, do not risk the PSU.
I would rather make a choice from my boat house and laptop (fantasy), than with Corleone's gun to my head......!

In your way, you are right. Brands are a very personal choice anyway.Yea I know about the outsourcing which Corsair does for the internal core of the PSU.

My only point here is that performance is better in some of the brands I mentioned at a cheaper price and also they are well reputed brands. So one need not worry about those. Only concern should be after sales service and warranty. - Status
