I am in the midst of buying a new PC and am a bit limited in what this place offers for PSUs. I will post my build, and the options, but if they all suck, I AM willing to buy a separate one in person and replace their stock one if need be, but would be easier on me if one of these qualified as I am forced to pay for at least their stock, which reviews say are terrible, so is cheaper on me if i can replace it with them. I will add I have already ordered (Friend of mine told me the stock PSUs were fine, then i did some reading, this is on me) so I am calling them tomorrow to see if they will let me swap it out (as I only ordered on friday). If not, then I will have to pay for another and install it myself.

Also to note, I am Canadian, so conversion is a thing i have to keep in mind, plus shipping for anything i order from the states.

IN CONCLUSION:

I am not on a SUPER tight budget, but have already dropped a fair bit, so i don't want to go crazy with the PSU. having read the stickies, and a bunch of reviews, my plan right now is to try and get the EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 sale price, and if I cant, get the Corsair RMi Series RM650i instead, and if they won't replace it at all, then i will have to figure out what to buy in person. But of course I am posting this because I want to hear what you have to say! Thanks for your help!

*EDIT*

I want to note I recognise that for a single card set up, 1050 is WAY overkill, but if i can get the sale price, it is CHEAPER than the RM650i

I am aware, but it is cheaper than the RM650i if I can get the sale, and will future proof the PC hard, but I recognise it is WAY more than I need, but at 10 dollars cheaper, there is no reason NOT to.

To start, if you're on a budget you should build yourself.

1050 watts is way overkill for that build but your selection of PSUs kind of sucks. A lot of lower end units at the lower wattages I wouldn't recommend. At least its a quality PSU. If you wanted to buy something cheap, this PSU could work fine. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze

Just some advice. On a tight budget it's probably better to go for an i5 than an i7. For gaming there's not much of a difference since most games don't take advantage of the i7's hyperthreading. It's also worthwhile to build it yourself. You can get it cheaper and you have way more control over what parts you use.

With future proofing in mind, I am a bit worried to go below 600, would 520 cut it? Also I am not on a tight budget, just not an insanely expansive one. As to building, a lot of people told me that, but with the sales i got, i compared the prices with PC part picker, Newegg.ca, Ironside, and one other I can't remember. All came out about the same price, or more expensive than this prebuilt.

As to the processor I did consider down grading, but upgrading to the i7 was within my budget and again with future proofing in mind, i am okay with that choice, as it was only about 100-150 more.

If you make good part selection its usually possible to get things below the price of a prebuild. That PSU doesn't have much room for more power hungry parts in the future, so you may want to look into something more with a higher wattage.

I will take that to heart, it may come down to choosing something like the 520 for now, and replacing it later when i decide to upgrade since, with this build, i shouldn't need to for years. As for the good part selection, i can only say i tried. me, my mom, my partner, and my friend all did builds on various parts websites and it just couldn't match the sales they had going on, since they were knocking like 300-ish off the price, plus some freebies (like GoW4 and some peripherals)
