EVGA Supernova 650 P2​

Prime 650 Gold​

You wouldn't find G2/P2 today. And the Prime / Prime Ultra Gold / Platinum / Titanium were replaced with Prime GX/PX/TX, essentially just a rename. I never have seen a SnowSilent in the wild, i don't think Seasonic manufactures it anymore, and it was essentially just Prime with extra fan curve settings. So really, the only options out of these are Corsair RM-x, EVGA G3 and Prime GX/PX/TX, but the latter are often very overpriced for what they are. Although there are usually more options, Seasonic Focus and it's rebrands (NZXT C, Phanteks AMP, Antec HCG Gold) is fine if it's cheap enough (around 90-100$ in US), Super Flower Leadex III, Enermax Revolution DF, be quiet! Straight Power 11, Thermaltake GF1, MSI MPG A-GF. If one of them is like 10-15$ cheaper than the others, i'd just get that, but Corsair RM-x, bqt! SP11 and SF Leadex III kinda stand out of the rest and are worth paying a bit more extra i think.

I think the GX-650 or the rm650x is good. Maybe upscale it and make it 750w. List full system specs.

How do you figure? The NZXT C-Series is Seasonic Focus based.

 

[smartmantech47]

I thought you mean NZXT own manufacturered psu's

NZXT never manufactured PSUs themselves and it's not like we're talking about some hypothetical NZXT PSU, it's C series specifically.

Interesting point.

Is there any other alternative would you recommend around 3 just in case the NZXT C series ran out of stock.

Thank you

Yes, the Rm650x

Corsair RM, HX, Super Flower Leadex III

Corsair RM, HX, Super Flower Leadex III

Not RMx and its the RM right?

The Leadex III gold and pro are the same right just the difference are the efficiency.

There are only 1kW RMx in the list, which is 880 RM so RM instead is fine.

The Leadex III gold and pro are the same right just the difference are the efficiency.

No, different things, and there are zero reviews on Leadex III Bronze Pro, avoid if there are alternatives.
