RAM: HyperX Fury Black 4GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15 x2
GPU: Asus GeForce Gtx 1060 Dual OC 6GB DDR5 192-bit
PSU: Corsair VS Series VS650, 80+, 650W
CPU: Intel Coffee Lake Core i5 8600 3.1GHz
Motherboard: ASUS EX-H310M-V3
SSD: 238GB ADATA SU800 (Bought, not included in budget)
HDD: WD Blue 500GB SATA-III 7200 RPM 32MB (Bought, not included in budget)
I will use my old case.

Im new to building pc's and I have a strict budget (860 euro). I added the 650w psu just to be safe, but can a 550w psu sustain everything? Asking to see if I can fit i5 8600k in the build.

Hi dopperrottery,

You build is pretty well balanced.
The only thing to change is the PSU.
The Corsair VS Series is not a "gaming" quality one and can damage your build if it dies...
With your build you can go for a 450W easily (no overclock and not an high end graphics card)

You can look for seasonic or corsair CX serie.

The 550w PSU should work fine.

Also like the poster above me said, it's not a great gaming PSU. I would go with this one because I think a 450w PSU would work fine..... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139146&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817139146&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN7YBRCOARIsAFCb9375UaZE_xPo2_S69MWWhw8S1zkELFHmJlvbHQWIukbGSMnlCFjia74aAqRHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
