As already said the xfx ts followed by the antec.

Your listed system is below 200w max total system draw so either are more than enough.

I would however veer away from a RX 550 if at all possible , a 2gb 460 or a gtx 1050 are roughly twice as powerful.

If you are that budget limited then don't pay extra for a 4gb 550 over a 2gb model , the 4gb model is completely pointless because that gpu is nowhere near powerful enough to make use of all that vram

Edit :- when vapour stated '550 is not enough' Im fairly certain he meant the GPU not the PSU.

what a 2gb 460? does a memory size of video card doesn't matter?

Not when the gpu is weak. Adding extra vram to slow gpus is more of a marketing stunt than a performance feature.

A 550 has half the compute units & 2/3 of the texture & stream processing units of a 460.

Ignore the vram , a 2gb 460 isn't far off twice as powerful as a 4gb 550.

The 550 is IMO one of the worst GPU choices you could make even on a tight budget (& generally its only $10-20 less than a 2GB 460)
