Evga 500 BQ power supply thoughts?

[jpe1701]

I'm looking to put together an inexpensive school computer for my nephew and was wondering what some of you that are more knowledgeable than I thought of the EVGA 500BQ psu? I fell for the trap of buying a G1 nex750 a couple years ago because of EVGA's reputation so I just want to make sure.

None of the BQ models are decent , but the GQ are good.

B2 , GS , G2 , P2 are all very very good.

Thank you. I haven't seen the b2 around. How much do they go for ~. Yeah I switched my G1 out for a G2. I'm looking to spend less than $70 but I'm obviously willing to pay more for him to have decent power if necessary.

What specs are you looking to run this time?

I3 6100, 16gb ddr4, asus h110 board, gtx 1050ti running windows 10, and mostly Microsoft office, web browsing, and light games. He's into the COD games and other fps games mostly.

Just going through the Psu tier list and checking out reviews, how about the Seasonic S12ii?
