[SOLVED] I'm looking for a 600-650w PSU

Solution
didn't find many reviews
That's for a reason. Seasonic don't send reviewsamples of their budget lines. For a comparable price (within a margin of €10) there are a lot better PSUs available in Germany.

and there are none available or you want some recommendations as to what make & model to look for?

Tom's has a pretty good outline of what to look for and what to avoid depending on your usage scenario:

Mind sharing the system details for this PSU you'll be buying?
Thanks for all the replies.
I'm getting parts for a new build. I got so far:
Intel i5 12400
Asus Prime b660 ddr4 Mobo
Asus Dual RTX 3050 OC 8G

I know that its a Budget-Build and 600w is already overkilling it, but since PSU doesn't really outdate and it should be reliable for some years, i'm willing to invest more on the PSU. The ADATA seems real nice. Since i'm new in this i'd like to have some opinion from people who know better.

i would imagine if you're into PC gaming you would be looking to upgrade this RTX 3050 sometime in the not-so-distant future since it is the lowest tiered card available for the 3000 line.
with this in mind i would get either 750 or 850w power supply now so as to not have to spend out again when it is necessary.
The ADATA seems real nice. Since i'm new in this i'd like to have some opinion from people who know better.
the PSU tier article i posted earlier offers more reliable information than the majority of builders have ever had experience with.
and,
the 750w XPG Core Reactor is one of the highest rated models available and currently going for ~$99.
both it and the SuperNOVA G6 have 10 year warranties but the ADATA is slightly higher quality and going for cheaper at the moment.
you will not find many of this tier 750w PSUs for less than $100.

this XPG Core Reactor and the Corsair RM750x(which is also a very nice option) have lately been the lowest prices i've seen in quite some time.

plus the RMx has a $5 discount at checkout and a $20 mail-in rebate currently offered.
makes this one of the best deals around, if not THE best.
