Hello, so I want to buy a PC and the shop i'm considering buying at only has Thermaltake Power Supply Units, they recommended i buy the Thermaltake 650watts Litepower A-PFC. After checking their website i found that they maybe also have an Antec 550watts 80+ White VP550F. So my question is: does any of these two suit my rig? and no i can't buy the psu from somewhere else otherwise they'd just give me a warranty per piece and not a warranty for the whole pc (which lasts 1 year) and after looking around, there aren't any better choices at that price. (i live in a 3rd world country, so i can't buy from internet or stuff) thanks in advance for your answers!

edit: for a little bit more i can also get a Thermaltake smart-SE 530w Modular 80+ Bronze (is this one better than the two previously mentioned?)

The Rig is :
Cpu : Intel I5 6600k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming
mobo : Asus z170-p lga 1151
cooling: Watercooling thermaltake AIO performer water 3.0 C
Ram: 16 GB Kit (8gb x2) PC 2666 Nvidia Green Tesla Series.

If i had to chose from those, would probably go with the Antec VP. though it's a basic budget unit, it's decent enough.
As for the rest of the rig, you'd be better with decent air cooler like CM 212 EVO. the spared money would be better invested in better motherboard like Asus Z170 Pro Gaming.
Same goes to the overpriced memory. you can get it better performing kit at almost half the price.
And with this money I'd probably get a really good PSU like Corsair RM550x or RM650x or EVGA SuperNova G2 550/650 or Antec HCG 620 or some decent XFX or whatever I could find online. PSU is one of the most important components in the system for stability and longevity (not to mention quite operation).

the best thing about PSUs is that a good unit can serve you many years. Corsairs mentioned above come with 10 years warranty (and i own one older HX520 that is about 10 years old and still working perfectly fine)

First, thank you for answering. Second, as i have mentioned before, i'm afraid i can not buy anything online. Last, the beautiful parts you mentioned aren't available here :'( the shop i'm going to buy from is one of the best around and they don't have them. i didn't find the asus z170 pro gaming anywhere, the cooling parts aren't doing any better, and a better PSU is out of my budget for the moment. (they only have thermaltake for some reason) Corsair is a species that has not established its natural habitat in my country it seems (Algeria). Anyway, thank you again for your anwer, i'll go with the Antec =)
