Is this psu good ?

[adgonta]

I was looking through amazon for some 550w PSUs and came across this ,, Sharkoon silentstorm 550w '' . It is so similar to the cx550m . Both semi modular , black cables , same wattage etc..

nope, not good quality, I will still get CX550M.
What is your budget and country?
Rig specs pls?

Not bad(better than I expected from Sharkoon) but seems to have a noise issue.

What about this psu ?
EVGA 500w BQ

In terms of design and component quality it is worse than the Skarkoon and CX550m. The Evga 500w BQ is made by a company called Andyson whom have one of the worst reputations in the world of power supply manufactures.

I think I'll go with the Seasonic M12II 520w psu . It's fully modular which is nice plus it hasn't got any ketchup cables.

M12II is solid old model, but I will suggest a newer modern platform like CX550M or Vengeance 550M. What website do you use for pricing? Those new platform has better protections/regulations which is more important than diff between fully and semi modular.

BQ is a no no
