PSU for GTX 1070

[Dariuselul]

Hi.So about 2 days ago i mounted my new 1070 in my pc.And my power supply burnt out and my pc won't start up again. Luckily, as it seems, no burn marks/bad smell from any other components except the PSU itself as my bet is that it simply drew more power than it could and it died without exploding or something. I need a new PSU that will support my 1070 and give me some headroom.
My options are Seasonic S12II 620W or SuperFlower 550W. These are the best recommandations i received. So, seasonic 620W or SuperFlower 550W?

My money's on the Seasonic. SR-71 Blackbird approved: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2326680/seasonic-s12ii-620w-80plus-bronze.html

The extra wattage might help you out in future builds. Superflower is by no means a bad manufacturer though. Was there a specific SF model you had in mind?

I was leaning towards the seasonic aswell since it' s certificated and has higher efficiency.
The 550W Super Flower was this one http://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/super-flower/sf-550k12xp-550w/

In the updated PSU ranking list I refer to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html?_ga=1.73700630.565564490.1484841569
It's a Tier 2 (high quality, limited budget).

I can't find many reviews or forum posts about that specific superflower. I'm sure it's good, just not as much wattage. Hopefully a PSU master can swoop in and give us more insight on that model.

I see.That's really nice to hear. I'm most lilkely going to be buying the seasonic S12II 620 right now since it's going to give me the stability and headroom i need, and also higher wattage + it's on sale right now. But i'm not in a rush so i won't order it right now so any opinions are still appreciated. Thanks @KyleADunn for the help!
