Processor - Intel i5 2nd generation
Motherboard - Intel DH61WW
Ram - 12GB (8+4)
Hard Disk - WD Blue Desktop 1TB Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZEX) + 160 GB hard disk
Graphics - 4GB - Zotac GTX 1050ti OC Edition
Case - Corsair SPEC-01

Currrently I am using FOXIN 550 SMPS. so I am in afraid whether the power supply is sufficient or not
My Budget for the new SMPS is below 5K.

I am planning to by corsair VS 550 but people are telling its not gaming series.
so I don't know what to buy?

But that's besides the point. The GPU seems to have enough power. I'd normally suggest a higher power PSU just to be safe or future proof since PSUs now come with 10 years or more warranty.
But if you want a good modular PSU and you have space for big cables in your box, try an EVGA 550 or 650, silver, gold whatever you want. Just remember this might last you over 10 years so it may be worth investing on a better quality one. Besides overheating and I think it doesn't have a CPU cable for extra power if needed, the VS 550 is mediocre and okay.


Thank you Cioby.
What about this one "Cooler Master MWE 600 Bronze, 80+ Bronze Certified 600W Power Supply - 3 years warranty" ?
This one comes in budget I guess.

If your motherboard is as old as the CPU seems, you may have to change those soon.

That's not a particular good PSU either, on the same level as the Corsair VS series.

The least expensive PSU worth buying tends to be the newer Corsair CX series (no green lettering on the power supply) or the older SeaSonic S12/M12 PSUs.
