I am looking for the right PSU between this ones to build my pc with this parts
(i want to upgrade my hardware in a near future)

i3-2100
DH61WW intel Motherboard
Standard SATA Toshiba 500 GB
2 or 3 Fans
1 Zotac GTX 560 Amp!
8 GB of Ram Corsair Vengeance


My PSU Options are

Cooler Master GX 650W
Cooler Master EPP (any wattage)
Seasonic G550W
Antec HCG - 900 W
EVGA 500W
Generic PSU with 1200W - 800W

Prices are really the same between this PSU's so i can afford them.

Take in consideration , reliability, efficiency, etc etc.. i want a nice opinion about this bcause this is gonna be a nice investment for me.

I will use this to play League Of Legends BTW

Thank u Guys!
 
Solution
Seasonic G is easily the best PSU on that list
Followed by the Ante, although 900W are excessive for that build

The other units are pretty much junk.

Go.with the Seasonic or the Antec (depending on pricing)
Reliability
Seasonic G550W and Antec HCG 900 use premier chemicon capacitor (better configuration to cooler master GX and EVGA white). Later the Nippon Chemi Con brand AKA platinum grade Japan solid capacitor is proven for its low ripple output and longer durability than Capxon and G-luxon capacitors used in cheap PSU.

Efficiency
Another term of PSU efficiency is waste converted energy from A/C to D/C, meaning those rating of white to titanium implied how much $ per kWh you will spend.

Consideration[listnum]
■80+ grading
Let say you run 24/7 server with 200 watt consumed and your PSU is 80% efficient (white 80+, see the white background color of "80+ mark " on box)
200 * ( 1 / 0.80 – 1) = 50W, so your component will still be supplied with 200 watt, however PSU require 200 watt + 50 watt to do that. You can compare yourself using online reviewers datasheet and get the percentage efficiency figures of tested brand and model. So basically there're 80+ white > 80+ bronze > 80+ silver > 80+ gold > 80+ platinum > 80+ Titanium, there's a PSU tier list, this list DOES NOT point to specific electric bill but rather to component's quality.
■unit life span expectation
Internal PSU components (choke, capacitor, PCB, etc) will likely to degrade because of their chemical and physical characteristic rather than operating usage period. Only by testing using proper tools make you can find out unit's performance (thanks online reviewer for doing).

What to have
Entirely up to you, personally I'd choose pricier model because reliability demands cost.

    ■Quality of internal components such as SMD design, Chemicon tantalum core caps, and ferrite core chokes.
    ■A/C input range, make sure your choice meet region voltage rating.
    ■80+ certification, if you're putting this as business investment, estimate your replacement budget after profit.
    ■Flexibility, including mod option such as modular cabling and exchangeable fan, also case clearance.
 


Ok ty guys , but Mikel which one would u choose in this case , from my list? Ty in advance
