My pc specifications:
processor:AMD FX-8350 Octa-Core 4GHz AM3+
graphic card:GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 128bit PCIe
Ram:2x4gb 1600Mhz
Mobo:ASRock 970M Pro3
HDD:250gb

Cooler Master Elite V3 600W (MPW-6001-ACABN1)
or
Corsair VS Series VS550 550W White (CP-9020171)
which one should i buy?

Neither, get a Corsair CX650 or CX650M (the ones with black and white lettering not green) or a SeaSonic M12II/SeaSonic S12II 620

The 450 and 550w versions of the CX would also work with those specs.

The PSU is the single most important part of your system and a cheap unit can ruin your other parts.

The Corsair CX/CXM and Seasonics are not much more then the VS and much better. You can either save alittle and get a junk PSU or spend a bit more to get something half way decent.

Check pcpartspicker.com to see what the best prices are.

With a 1050Ti your system under full load will draw less than 300w.

You do not need 550w with an FX 8350 and 1050TI.

Seasonic has excellent quality and this is a very good budget PSU.

You don’t need near 550w. A good 400w power supply is already more than enough.

And the S12ii is anything but a good power supply. Mediocre at best electrical performance, and lacking crucial protections.
The Corsair VS and Coolermaster Elite arent good either.

Look at the Corsair CX450, be Quiet Pure Power 10 400w, System Power 9 400w, Xilence Performance A+, Cooler Master MasterWatt (not lite).

Ok thank you all I think I will get the corsair cx.
