i havent really used those types of brands like rosewill and seasonic so im a bit worried about using them you know im only used to corsair and evga

thats a really bad habbit to have.

So you have never heard of a brand , so youre not going to buy them.

Well in this case to let you know Seasonic is the best manufacturer in the world when it comes to powersupplies.
Theyre that good evga and corsair buy seasonic their powersupplies, and put their sticker(brand) on top of a seasonic powersupply and sell it again.

i have heard of seasonic but i read online they arent that good sometimes

Rosewill are hit and miss between quality and junk. Seasonic is one of the top brands out there; all of their lines are near top quality (as far as I'm aware of). If you have a choice between a Rosewill, Seasonic, Corsair, or EVGA at a similar price, always get the Seasonic.

ok ill get the power supply the person previously has recommended

You know that this power supply is much cheaper but has roughly the same performance, right?

Read reviews.

As for SeaSonic, they've delievered SINCE early 2000s.... They've been around for a LONG time and have been creating power supplies that exceed expectations like the first 80+ compliant power supply. They also make a lot of the power supplies you know today, like the EVGA G series, old Corsair AX series, amongst others. So, are they among the best? Yeah. They made the AX series you know about.

May i take this one? : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

It's in GBP...?

Then this would be good.

You don't need 750W, but hey, it's cheaper than the 550W. And it's SeaSonic.

S12II is also heavenly at a low budget. If you want to pay less, that's a great option.

so the 80+ thing is only the fan noice and how well it can work without using much power right?

get the evga g2 its better than the s12ii, and the one just recommanded by okcnaline.

yes the g2 has got a small flaw, but nothing you need to worry about.
Besides that its fully modular, and a bit mroe stable WITH A 7 year warranty.

But it's cheaper and more efficient at 10% load...

You know what? Why not just get this.

edit: that is NOT the g2 , the superflower leadex gold is

 

[madmatt30]

You see , with seasonic I wouldn't buy the old s12 or m12 units unless they're cheap.
They're good quality still yes but a 5 year old outdated group regulated platform & there are just better Psu's available now for similar money.

Corsair CX 650m & corsair cx650 non modular (just released in the UK)
Evga b2
Evga GQ
Evga g2
Evga g3

All those are very good units with a minimum 5 year warranty & in all honesty you should just pick the best priced one available at the current time.

The capstone I linked earlier is an upgraded fully modular version of the b2 (the same super flower platform)


That superflower listed is not a g2 , the g2 is based on the newer leadex dc-dc regulated platform.
The capstone is exactly the same psu as that super flower but modular & £10 less.

 

[madmatt30]

Be very careful with open box modular PSU's , I've bought before cheap & had missing cables etc

Unscrupulous people buy these , steal cables & return them with bits missing - they are very rarely checked properly on return.

Id email them & ask about contents because that is a truly great price for what is one of the top tier platforms.

[okcnaline]

Hm... My bad. Platform was different. Oh wait... The EVGA B2. So that one is still good. I guess with the British market, the G2's good.

 

[madmatt30]

The GS is good but its not as good as the g2 which is only £1 more.
Its also not as good IMO as the GQ which is £10 less from ebuyer.

http://www.ebuyer.com/730191-evga-650-gq-modular-gold-rated-80-power-supply-210-gq-0650-v3

GS
GQ
G2
G3

In that order of quality , best last.

 

[okcnaline]

GQ as in FSP? That was only good if it was in USD.

 

[madmatt30]

Really ? The GQ is still a good unit at 15% less than the g2, its just not as good is all.
Id still take the g2 personally myself but as you'll find evga gold rated units are expensive in the UK.

that one without a doubt i own its personally, made by seasonic.

 

[madmatt30]

^ I'll say this again the GS 650 is not as good as the g2 650.
The gs550 & 650 are a completely different platform to the 750/850/1000 models & only gone with a 5 year warranty.
The g2 is £1 more, has a better warranty & is a better PSU.

i am going to choose this power supply after reading some reviews it seems good

 

[superninja12]

i would get a brand new GS.

 

[madmatt30]

& I would get a brand new g2 ;-)
That said the gs is good too , they're both better than the old golden green platform (which is still great but old), they're both modular , with the g2 you get better efficiency at low loads because it's a dc-dc unit & an extra 2 years warranty.

mackevicius - a review of the g2 , you will then understand why its been THE recommended mainstream PSU for mid-high end builds for the last 2 years (& theres a direct comparison to the GS here too)

[okcnaline]

It seriously depends on price. I'm used to recommending SeaSonic because those units are so much cheaper than any of the G2 in the US. But G2 is slightly more stable and more efficient while hot at higher loads, so get that.
