Ok, still looking for answer if Corsair VS650 would be good to power 1 S3? I am not good with that stuff, so I will not be modifying server PSUs.
According to the table http://www.corsair.com/~/media/Corsair/download-files/manuals/DC_Cable_consolidation_Rev_28.pdf the VS650 has only one PCIe cable, and therefore is not suitable to run an S3. You need two PCIe cables, four if you plan to overclock (plus higher wattage).

EDIT:- above assumes you don't want to use 4-pin molex to PCIe converters.

Hmm I dont know then any other PSU good for powering 1 miner, can someone help me?

here are  photos of 1 cable into 2 pcie plugs this will over heat--------------- notice I leave one plug empty. I use the  second plug for a gridseed blade

I can point out quite a few good psu's for you.  just let me know the country you live in.  

(if you are in the usa I have 4 or 5 good ones I could send one to you)
