I plan to buy Sapphire NITRO RX 470 OC so i need new PSU since my current LC Power 500W is not enough.
Is Seasonic S12III Bronze 500W good buy?
 
Solution
Because it ends up being worse than its predecessor in many ways. Sure it has partial dc-dc, but it has much lower quality components like caps. It's just not a unit I can reccomend.
Well that's a problem with the product, not the OEM. Please stop blaming the OEM next time. Also it's very hard to tell that the capacitors are "much lower quality", all capacitor tier list are BS. We need a couple of years to conclude the quality of a particular brand of capacitor. Sure the S12III is a quirky product, it has dual mag amp on 2021, which is weird and uncompetitive. It's just that your reasoning is kind of innacurate,

My budget is like 75-80$ and I'm living in Serbia, here are all power supplies in best store in my country...
Why is everyone having a go at seasonic for outsourcing the S12III to RuiShengYuan? A crap product from Delta is still crap and a good product from someone who usually makes crap is still good (Thermaltake TP PF1 for example).

The best way to make PSU recommendation is to tell us your budget and where you are from. Provide us with a local online store for reference.

So that's like 8000 Serbian dinars right? I'm looking at these which is the best IMO for that budget. The other options are unfortunately crappy PSUs from different brands. https://gigatron.rs/napajanja/cooler-master-napajanje-mwe-500-white-230v-v2-293012

But I suggest something better like this

or the one @Vic 40 suggested above.
