Question Help me choose between these 650W+ power supplies ?

[stebobibo]

Hi, I'm looking for a 650W or more power supply. I found a bunch in my price range but I don't know how to judge them on quality. They all look the same to me. I put together charts showing the lowest price for each PSU. If you could take a look and let me know what your choice would be and why, I'd really appreciate it. I prefer better quality over lower price, but up to a point. So you could let me know what's the best value (quality for the price), and/or what's the best quality. Thanks!

For 650 I would take the Seasonic, easy decision most reputable brand. For 750 the EVGA or Superflower, same reason, both reputable brands and solid products.

You can compare to this https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ but the seasonic 650 has a good price.
Of the 750's, the Adata and Superflower are the best deals with the EVGA close.

Thanks for the great feedback, guys!

Antec Earthwatts Gold pro is a solid, seasonic built PSU, but given the price, I would just go with the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold. The EVGA G6 is also Seasonic built, and would be my choice, for 750w+.

Not on your list, but this or the 750W version would also be good options:

I use the 750W one and can confirm they are great. Not sure why nobody else here seems to...

Agree it is a good unit but it only comes with 5 year warranty when equal quality and priced units of same size carry 10 year warranty. Ruled it out for me when was buying last time.

Never had any problems with them... and honestly, computers don't really last that long for me anyways. Especially not with gaming computers needing more and more energy each year. So it's not really an issue in my book and frankly, other components have far shorter warranty periods anyways...

Ended up going with the Super Flower Leadex III Gold 750. The Phantex and Seasonic 650s were sold out (where there was a good deal on them) so I figured I'd step up to a 750 because it wasn't much costlier than the other 650s.

Glad you worked it out. Personally I like the Corsair rmx series as well. I have the 850 watt version and it’s decent.
