Hi, i bought my new rig 2 weeks ago, and i brought all the components to my country (Argentina) to build the pc, but the power supply is dead (seasonic s12ii). Luckily i found a way to take it back to usa and return it.

Now i need to buy a new one, but i dont know which, my case fitted the power supply perfectly (less than half a centimeter between the MoBo and the PSU) and it was mate black (i have a white and black build)

I dont know if to buy that power supply again or buy a better one for the money (70$ usd). Can you help me choose one?

Also, that PSU had the CPU cables too short, i couldnt take them through the back of the case for cable management.

I was thinking in buying the EVGA supernova 650w. But it has so many models (g1,g2,gs...) and its confusing. And im planning to do a dual gtx 1070 in SLI, i dont know if 650w would be enough...

Rest of the rig:

Asus z170-a
gtx 1070 evga
i5 6600k
16gb (2x8) 2400mhz ram

You've already found some of the most recommendable PSUs! Essentially, you want ones with a 2 in the name, like G2/T2/P2 (made by Super Flower) or a GS (made by SeaSonic).

And you can SLI on a quality 650W. Two stock 1070s would go up to around 320W at load or so (more with overclocking). I'd probably go 750 instead of 650, but you could manage.
