PSU: VS Series™ VS650 — 650 Watt 80 PLUS® White Certified PSU (UK).

As someone who's worked with dirt cheap PSUs like Corsair VS and had cheap units like them blow and kill hardware, I recommend you get rid of it immediately. It's not worth the risk of it killing your more expensive components.

Well I mean it's a 65 dollar psu, considering there are some PSU's that you can get for like 20-30 bucks and have them last years without a thing wrong with them, and the fact that this is Corsair who is a very trusted brand, I would say it will last a while.

I mean I've had this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ E-Power 550 watt unit for about 3 years and 3 months (bought the system in Jan of 2017) and it has been going strong, doesn't even have a safety label anywhere on it and I'd reckon this thing costs probably 15 dollars. It really just depends on the company that you buy it from.

It's purely luck. Inevitably, they'll all fail, but cheaper units generally fail more on average.

Even so, when you have such an expensive CPU and GPU, spending so little on a PSU is pretty dumb. People recommend not using these kinds of units for high end systems for a reason, and if you ignore the warning, you only have yourself to blame if it goes south.

You do got some points, if you spend a lot on a CPU and GPU, you might as well spend more on a PSU at least then you guarantee that the parts won't fail because of it. Like you said, it is luck. But the company that makes it really determines a lot. Buying a 30 dollar unit from like Corsair or Seasonic will probably last longer than a 100 dollar unit from some weird knockoff brand no ones ever heard of.

It doesn't matter on brand, it matters on the hardware used inside.
If it's some POS unit from some hardly known OEM, and it ♥♥♥♥♥ itself, your PC is probably going down with it.

That said, I've got a Corsair VS450 in my old 4th gen i3 build, and it's still going fine. You win some, you lose some.
I personally wouldn't take the risk though.

never once had a corsair psu blow or destroy any hardware... but i have never cheaped out on a low budget piece of hardware anyway.

Although two specific brands are known to make system killing PSUs, so, brand very much matters especially for warranty and difficulty of replacing units - let alone failure rate and severity of failure. Everytime I would hear one of two brands being mentioned, they were almost entirely involved in part-cooking madness or were otherwise running so out of range that it was legitimately dangerous to keep using.

Corsair though almost never had any issues, but about 90%+ of the time when it involved a legitimate psu issue - it was two brands.

Corsair's high-end stuff is extremely reliable. Dunno about cheap units though. Would recommend upgrading the psu since the components are quite high-end and it would suck to see them get destroyed

Well, very few PSU brands actually make their own PSUs. They're most often outsourced to actual manufacturers like Channel Well (aka CWT), HEC, Flextronics (one of the best), etc. Most of the units notorious for failing are made by Channel Well, HEC, or worse, but those 2 in particular are the most common and they make PSUs for almost every single PSU brand there is. CWT in particular makes the majority of Corsair's units, which is why VS can last for years without issue (as CWT does make good hardware, it's just that their quality is such a wide range since they make it for specific 80+ certif levels), but that doesn't change that it's still a lower quality standard that is more prone to failure. It goes without saying that for a budget ~ mid-range gaming PC, you shouldn't drop below a quality 80+ bronze, and for a higher end system, no less than a quality gold.

The only brands that I know still makes at least some of their own PSUs is SeaSonic and FSP, off the top of my head.

The corsair VS units are known to have many issues, some have gotten lucky and have had them last years, but if you're going to spend top dollar for a 9900k, 2070 system and slap a low end PSU in it then you're asking for trouble. Anyone going for a high end build like this one should definitely put in the extra money for a decent PSU. The Corsair VS units are fine for a low power, low end budget build but not a 9900k, 2070 build, 80+ white efficiency not to mention the issues they've had with the VS units. I wouldn't risk it personally.
