vs series is bad. cx is not good as antec one. another option is corsair gs 600.

gs600 seems to b out of budget

for ram is there any difference in purchasing kit (4*2) or 2 single stick (4+4)
or its the same only packed as kit

most of the time it's the same but only packed as a kit. But if you don''t want to take chances [ like two memory modules from different batches ] then stick with kit only.

i am using vp450p and it is super silent. cant comment on vp550pthough. but it should not be that noisy. hid cabinet fans may be interfering to make high noise.

Decent quality TIM usually comes bundled with good [ read pricey ] cpu coolers. One great news is Noctua NH D14 is back again ! [ Just saw this yesterday on FK [ theitwares ].
