[SOLVED] Is Antec Neo Eco Gold Zen recommended for 1080 medium gaming?

Build: XPS 8700 with aftermarket RX 580 OC

I'm thinking they are made by Seasonic so they can't be all that bad. I'm just scared to just buy it without reading an analysis since I'm new to this field.

It's a new model, released in 4th quarter 2019. Until there's a comprehensive review including thorough testing and teardown with component analysis your decision is limited to evaluating the models specs and Antec's overall reputation. If the OEM is Seasonic that's a good thing.

I will be buying their 500W version for my build XPS 8700 with RX 580 and 2 large LCD monitors. Would that be ok?

My average usage includes always have 100 tabs open, playing Apex Legends 1080p on medium graphics while streaming it. Thanks

Personally, I would recommend a bit more wattage (in the event you upgrade your GPU). Just something to consider.

Why is the Zen under Tier B+ and Neo Eco under A when Zen has DC to DC but Neo Eco doesn't?!

Even though Zen is more expensive and their own site ranks it higher than Neo Eco
