Right my S550 is no more caput, deceased, dead, fin :(
Now I want to get back up in the air asap I'm looking at the Tarot 680B, my question follows as this my S550 was powered by Emax MT 2213 935Kv delivering 850g trust so totalling 5.100g of trust working on this the Tarot with same/similar components would weigh >1.753 kg so if I'm right theoretical lift/Hover would be around the 33% of throttle ?below 50% of the stick????.
Now please keep this in mind the Tarot would be fitted with a X Yi camera, however at a later stage I would be looking at going to a Sony DSC HX-50 camera so obviously I would need to up grade ESC's and Motor's and gimbal etc. therefor extra weight
However my problem is that I want to get in the air as soon as, yet I CANNOT afford to buy new motor's, ECS plus frame at once so my thought is upgrade the ESC's and leave the motor's until I have the money to buy them and so here lies the problem what Motors and ESC's should I be looking at to go with a Tarot FY680B ultimately weighing in around the 2.4kg.
any thoughts and feeling are more than welcome

This is a light frame so I think the motors will work fine, until you start adding weight. What size props are you planning on using?
 
I think it would fly fine unless you decided to start adding gear. If it is a new build I would at least go with 2216 or larger to cover future functionality.

I had 3508/415kv, 6s, 12x42, and 2814/770kv, 4s, 10x5 and it flew like a champ with both. It seemed more powerful with the 4s setup, but I got longer flight time with the 6s setup.
