Avoid the EVGA B1 and Seasonic S12II and M12ii (below 650w) as they’re mediocre at best power supplies. The CXs and CXMs suggested are much better.

 

[ScrewySqrl]

eh, the S12II and B12II are older designs, but still Seasonic.

 

[Rexper]

Why are Seasonic fanboys so common. Seriously, why so many for Seasonic, as apposed to Corsair or something?

What makes you think brand has anything to do with quality? Because they’re all capable and all do make some crap.

When looking at power supplies, take away the brand name. In this instance with the S12ii and M12ii all we have is an ancient platform with crappy protections and group regulation. Similar to the EVGA B1s...

 

[ScrewySqrl]

because even older, there is a big quality difference between Seasonic and, say, Logisys, Raidmax, or Topower. Seasonic's stuff is *reliable*. This makes their older S12II series a viable inexpensive choice.

8GB RAM is the minimum these days. Get 16GB ram instead.

Unless you can find them for dirt cheap, they aren’t. The Corsair CX or CXM grey label which are normally found at the same price is an example of a PSU that is much better.

Never choose power supplies by brand, they all sell garbage or overpriced units.
