can't decide between these two PSUs

[whatdahil]

hi

im buiding a gaming pc, with this parts but im still undecided with the PSU that I'm going to use

my specs
i3 4170
ram kingston 8gb
zotac gtx 750 ti
psu =??
msi h81m motherboard
HDD 1tb
case =??

im stuck between
Seasonic SS-600BT ECO Series 600W 80+

and
SEASONIC S12LL 520W 80PLUS BRONZE
and i guess my main question is will i have any incompatibility issues with either one of these? or will both work just fine

also, is there a specific advantage with having a 2x4gb ram than 1x8gb?
thanks,

Hello whatdahil,

1) Get the SEASONIC S12LL 520W 80PLUS BRONZE, it's a slightly better model and still has all the power your need for the specs above.

2) Having two 4GB sticks will make use of Dual Memory Architecture, which will have a 10-15% performance increase in the RAM. Very much worth it.
