Question Opinion on Seasonic G12 GC and B12 BC

[veeljko23]

PC Specs

CPU: i3 12100f
MBO: Asus H610M-A D4
RAM: Kingston Fury 2x8GB 3200mhz
GPU: Sapphire RX 570 4GB ( not in the pc yet since i dont wanna risk using it with this psu )
PSU: lc 6550 v2.2
SSD: Samsung 980 500GB and a seagate 250GB HDD

I will get either Seasonic B12 BC 650w or G12 650w GC to replace my curent psu so that i can upgrade gpus without worrying.

In my country there arent better options then this, BC is $90 and GC is $100. The only difference from what i have seen is the efficiency rating.

Its B tier on the tierlist but in speculative position since it doesnt have many reviews and im wondering if anyone had it or had any experience with it and if its a quality choice so that when im upgrading in the future all i need to care about is wattage if you get what i mean.

The quality is pretty low (sleeve bearing fan, Chinese caps) but the platform is modern and protections are OK.

In your other topic I see I recommanded the Seasonic the best you can get in your region wthin the budget.

I found a new one, Antec EA550G Pro Gold, its tier a and comes with 7y warranty for $75 now im wondering if i should go with it because its a better unit or if i should stick with seasonic one because its 650w even though im pretty sure i wont have a pc thwt powerful in next few years lol

The funny thing is that the Antec AE550G Pro Gold is a Seasonic inside where the Seasonic B12BC/G12GC is not. Get the Antec.

What about the 2x8pin connectors? I heard that daisy chained connectors are a very bad idea

"Very bad" is a bit of an exaggeration, and the cases where it's less than ideal are when we're talking extremely high power cards with big spikes like the 3080 and 3090. An RX 570 does use enough power that you want a non-junky PSU, but daisy-chaining is only really something you avoid if it's an option. Given the choice between daisy-chaining an RX 570 and using separate cables on an RX 570 with a worse PSU, I'd daisy-chain every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

in the future i plan on upgrading to either rx 6600xt or 6700xt, would be enough?
