You should mention your budget when u ask for help. These are your best bets (corsair models) -
At 3.8k - cx600 V2
At 4.5k - VX 550 (if this not available, go for GS600)
At 5.5k - TX 650
At 6.5k - TX 750V2

EDIT - I suggest you get 2*4 GB instead of 1*8 GB. Its always better to utilize the dual channel.

Wrong. There is no advantage of dual channel over single channel.

Is it ?
I ve always read a 2x4 GB setup is better than a 1x8 GB.

as ill upgrade the ram for sure.
i don't want to fill up all 4 slots so i think that will be fine.
budget is not an issue as i don't want to compromise on the system. and making it as one time investment in major things.

Go with the TX series - 650 or 750 V2.
Should allow crossfire in future if needed.

NZXT Gamma or NZXT Beta Evo priced 2.4k-2.6k. Local prices might be lower.

If available, you should go for VX 550 instead of GS 600 as both cost the same and VX 550 has a better build, performs better, has better capacitors and also 2 years extra warranty.

VX is EOL'ed long ago.

Not a good choice, as nobody knows what will be given in case of RMA replacement.

Actually there is a reason people use large DIMM sticks in dual channels over small size ones. Google it.
