Seasonic is generally held in really high regard as far as quality PSUs......and 620 watts should be plenty.....so I think that's a good pick.

That's not the best choice really, old design, group regulated etc... And it only has 1 PCIe cable from the PSU.

It's not 620W, it's 576W....

Will it work? Yeah, kind of....

Are there better choices? Yes, a lot of them, and it's highly recommended you pick something else.

Yeah, the Seasonic S12II is an old design. Still okay, great for its day, but, then FOCUS and PRIME models are much much better for modern systems.

Honestly, you could easily get away with a 550W FOCUS Plus Gold.

There's a $25 mail in rebate involved, but after the rebate, this one comes to $62 at NewEgg.

That's even a worse idea.

Bad ideas compounding on worse ideas.

That would be better long as you get the CX550 and not the CX550M.
