VS650 for these specs
VS650 for these specs
My current components are -
Intel i5-6600K
Hyper-212 Evo Cooler
Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
GeForce GTX 970
8 GB RAM
250 GB SSD
1 TB HDD.
Will my PSU (Corsair VS650) support the overclock? Can I run high-performance games on this PC? Should I replace the PSU or can I manage with it temporarily? Most of the time I’ll be playing CSGO at 299 FPS.
Well it is indeed a good overclocker from what I've read and seen first hand.
About the psu it has a mixed rating of good and bad, if it does go out while your gaming.
It shouldn't take out your components, unless there is a bad thunderstorm and lightning hit nears the wall socket its in plugged into.
Go with evga or antec, I've owned both during the past 6 years and neither gave me any grief besides dying after 3 years.

Both companys have a good customer service rating, make sure you...
By examining your part specifications, it seems you can manage it, but my main worry is the type of case you have. Also, when you need to overclock, how far should you safely push it? The 6600k runs at 3.5ghz by default. Check this page to understand how far the overclock will extend; if I were you, set the default speed to 3.0ghz. Then you can adjust the maximum overclock to 4.2ghz, pushing it gradually until you reach your limit.
I own a mid tower spec 02 Corsair case. I probably keep the CPU at its default speed of 3.5 GHz. If I ever try to overclock, it should reach a maximum of 3.9 GHz since I don't think my processor can go higher. I've also heard that my PSU is of poor quality and if it fails, all my components could fail.

Both companys have a good customer service rating, make sure you keep your receipts and have your facts right when you need rma support.
Sorry to bother you, but I'm also considering purchasing the VX650 instead of the 650 for my 6600 and 1070. I won't be overclocking. Which PSU did you decide to buy?
