[SOLVED] Is FSP dagger pro 650 good enough even low 5VSB efficiency?

[EthianKenh]

Hi to all experts, I'm looking at some SFX psu to change my now ATX build to mini-ITX build in the next month. so I need some advice.

I'm not from the US, and listed below are my options.

1. FSP dagger pro 650w around 112$, 7yrs warranty (But the low 5VSB rail from all the review kinda hold me back from buying it, what will it affect me?)
2. Corsair SF600w around 162$, 7yrs warranty
3. Enermax revolution SFX 550w around 101$, 5yrs warranty
4. SILVERSTONE SFX 650w or 450w around 124$/93$, both 3 yrs warranty
5. Seasonic focus SGX 500 is the best imo but not available locally and needs additional 50USD to ship to my area which is 130$ in total but my main concern is if something happen to it, I have personally return shipping which cost another sum of money where locally bought item will be handle by the retailer).

My build is
Ryzen 3200g with stock cooler
B450 Aorus Pro Wifi
16gb ram
Zotac 1070ti mini
1 HDD and
1 SSD
1 Logitech Bluetooth mouse
1 Normal Keyboard
Seasonic S12ii 620w
2pcs 12cm LED exhaust fan

Hope to get the feedback as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

The FSP model is not a great choice. The ripple on the 12 volt rail would bother me more than the 5 volt inefficiency. Regardless of the FSP warranty, the Corsair clearly outperforms it and is a much better choice.

Nope. Only Fractal case are available lol. I guess I have no other choice, paying in one go is not a problem, it just feels "painful" to my wallet. But I can opt for zero interest installment plan locally. Thanks for the feedback.

Ya, It's better to pay a bit more rather than suffer later. Thanks for the feedback.

On the other hand, we can't really know what are the next batch of new SFX release from all the brands, correct? I will close this post/thread in 2 days.
