I could hardly pay 4k rupees for the PSU.I searched google and youtube and found that many people run it with VS550 paired with i5 processor while i have only i3.So would it be better buying VS550 or suggest any PSU pricing inside 4k rupees.Thanks in advance!

The first good power supply starts at 5.1K which is the Seasonic.

Many people use Corsair power supplies because it is a popular brand. However their power supplies below 100 dollars are not so good.

As I said it will work. You might need a bit of luck to see it working after 3 years of use.
