Seasonic, how good is it?

[Ripper_ZA]

I have never heard of a Seasonic, and it was only introduced in our country a few weeks ago

Will a Seasonic 620 watt be enough for: (?)
-CORSAIR VENGEANCE Low Profile 8GB - 2x 4GB DDR3-1600 CL9
-Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H - Socket LGA1155 Z77 Express Chipset
-Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 - GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 Graphics Card
-Intel Boxed Core i5 3470 - 3.20GHz Quad Core

Do you recommend seasonic or corsair, which one is better?

Thanks.

yea it will be overkill. seasonic is a good brand. Most of their psu's are excellent

Great brand. Even though 620 is more than enough for your build now...think higher and think future. I would go for 750+ in couple of years you might want to SLI or CF. I'm using my Antec1000W for over 6 years. Just remember that less load = less heat = longer life

Seasonic is not good. It's excellent. Seasonic is the best of the best when it comes to power supplies. You build will work fine with that "620W" psu. It will even run on 550w.

To be honest a good 400w psu is even enough.
Your system will use under 300w

PSUs are only most efficient at around 50 to 60% load.

Are you sure about that? Please do some googling or binging

If you look at the most efficient PSUs by looking at that particular graft the efficiency is above 90% anywhere between 20% to~ 90%load that very important and correlates with other review as well.

Yea different PSUs have different efficiency curves but usually it's like what I have said.
