It should be fine,
In fact a lot of people who bash Corsair VS550 as being the inferior power supply don't know what they are thinking about.
Corsair VS has the same quality as CX, minus the 110-120V compatibility.
Furthermore Corsair VS is rated @ 40 degrees celcius whereas the CX is 30 degrees celcius.
So it should be fine, but as they say there are better alternatives.
What other alternative power supplies do you have in your country?

By the way, is the quality of Corsair VS series equal to CX?
This is because the VS are rated at 40 celcius while the CX @ 30 celcius.
VS is cheap in my country because they remove the 115V, that's why it does not have 80 plus certification. Otherwise, both of them have Active PFC

So then, VS550 will be fine? (minus the 115V and slightly lower efficiency)
Because a lot of people think that CX also use low quality capacitors anyway.
Is the power rating at (how many degrees celcius) important?
For example rated at 40 celcius is better than 30 celcius
I am using an i7 4770, H87 Motherboard, 2TB HDD, 2 fans and R9 270X.
Thanks

I asked this question in November, and since then i researched a lot on PSU, and finally went with Seasonic ECO 600, as far as i know it is somewhat better quality than Corsair, but because of some great Christmas sale offer, i got it cheaper than VS550. I am happy with my new build (read signature). Thank you all for your replies.
