Hey guys, I'm newbie trying to put together a budget build and so far here are my parts:
WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7.2kRPM HDD
I7-6700
Gainward GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
2x4GB DDR4 2133Mhz
Gigabyte H110M-S2
Corsair VS series 450W(CM PSU calculator results are 300W)
Zalman ZM-T3 Case

I'm really worried about the PSU even though it's gotten overall good reviews, I'm used to getting 200W for my rigs so if you could comment on that it'd be great. I really can't dish out any more money since I need to buy a monitor as well and I really need that hyper-threading for video rendering.

The VS550 on that site is 119BGN / $66.50

This would be a better option. It's a SeaSonic ECO, so not their best PSU ever - but much, much better than the VS.

92.74 BGN / $51.85

Alternatively the S12II 520W is right on par with the VS pricing:

It's.....ok.

The 6700 makes sense for rendering.

Where are you located? The VS lineup is only a step above 'junk', and I wouldn't recommend it.

In the US for example, right now the CX450M is $30 after rebate - it's a great option. But YMMV depending on location.

I'm living in Bulgaria where your $30 psus cost around $70. I'm shopping from a website called stealtech.org so if you can find a better psu for this amount of money, be my guest.

I'll get the s12ii 500W, I want a PC, not a fire hazard.
P.S. I love how they wrote GB instead of Watts, it's great living in a 3rd world country.
