What about this one

Seasonic B12-BC-650​

This one is OK, it has 648W for the 12V.

Thank you, the other one 750W COUGAR XTC would be this. Is this worth considering?

The higher watt output the better, go for 750W if you can find one at good price.

I can I am just wondering if this model is a quality one and if this power output is on the first line.

Both PSU brands are equally good.

Thank you the Cougar will be it

No because it's a group regulated unit and 230v only. The Seasonic is a lot better. The Cougar is near junk.

Wow I almost purchased it

Apologies for the spaming , is this acceptable psu, I cann see that it can output 590 watts in one line

EVGA 600 W1, 80 Plus WHITE 600W​

For your computer's current config, you'd better go with the 650W or 750W mentioned above.

I don't see the problem, probably 90% of computers worldwide are actually running on "group regulated" PSU. People still make and sell them because they are good for what they are made for.

That's not true. Most of the computers worldwide are OEM build units like HP, Dell and Lenovo which are usually 12vO for the past decade.
You can't expect a stable operation from GR units in combination with recent GPUs because those GPUs pull all the power from 12v. GR units really struggle with the voltage regulation and 5v and 12v go out of spec. Even double forward with DC-DC is not recommand because the response time of DF is to high for power spikes. With a recent GPU you want nothing else than a decent LLC + DC-DC unit.

You are wrong.

Most of computers worldwide are built by small manufacturers, retail shops and consumers themselves. Those computers use regular motherboards made by large manufacturers like Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte... and they use regular PSU.

12VO is actually a solution to a problem that HP, Dell and Lenovo want to solve, it's not yet a standard like ATX. The 12VO can make the PSU simpler and cheaper, however it also makes the motherboards more complicated as the motherboards must supply the 5V, 3.3V... by themselves to components like CPU, SSD, HDD...
