Hello! So im looking for a new power supply and im thinking about this Evga 600w. But there is the problem that people think it is bad and i should get better one. Also im looking for a 550W power supply. (I was thinking about the evga one because it was like 50€). And now i will be really happy if you can post your opinion on the Seasonic S12III-550 because i changed my mind and im interested in that PSU. And also it has Bronze rating.

My specs:
MSI B450M-A PRO MAX
R5 2600,
Gigabyte 1660 Super (Triple Fan)
HyperX 8gb DDR4 3200mhz
Kingston A2000 NVME SSD 250GB

First, you don't need 550W PSU for this build, a good 400-450W one would be better than a bad 550W. EVGA 600W assuming it's W1 is not a good PSU. Seasonic S12III is better but still not a very good one either. Look for 400/450W PSUs like be quiet! System Power 9, Corsair CX, Chieftec Proton. Maybe smth else, you can consult to the PSU tier list here :
Feel free to report your findings.
