Question Will my psu enough

[Celtraxz]

going upgrade my pc to i5 6600k and rx 580, i also got 120gb sata, 1tb baracuda 7.2k, 4x2 1600 ram, will my cordair vs 450 (orange) enough? or do i need to upgrade it to?

No, I wouldn't risk those parts with a Corsair VS PSU as there pretty low quality. I'd recommend getting a good quality 550W unit.

On a side note, what CPU do you currently have? I wouldn't upgrade to a quad core nowadays for gaming.

The entire corsair VS series is low quality and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For your setup, I recommend at least a corsair cx550(m) or similar.

Yes that would be much better then your current PSU.

So the 6600K would be an improvement due to the extra cores and overclocking if your using a Z170/Z270 motherboard but we are seeing more then 4 cores utilized in games. Depending on your budget I would try for a i7 if possible or consider moving to a Ryzen platform.

The Seasonic m12II are significantly better than the VS 450 (mostly the older orange unit you currently have) and it should do the trick. If you can find a cx550 (a grey label unit) for the same price, however, that would be a better option.

To be honest, I'd sell your current CPU/MB & memory (unless it's 2800mhz+) and get this if possible.
