Hello

Most definitely, that is a quality psu, with enough watts and it has 2x6 pins for a 12 pin gpu

The gpu will come with an adapter that will ocnvert your 2X6 to 12 pins

That Power supply is enough for even RTX 3070 , you are goood

That PSU although seasonic, is not made by them and unfortunately is the worst seasonic has to offer. It lacks protections and should not be in a high end system.

[SOLVED] - I have a i7-8700k and a GTX 1070Ti - is this 620watt SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze Enough?

So this is my build: i7-8700k 16gb DDR4 (I think) GTX 1070Ti 1:SSD 2: SATA 5400rpm (I think) 1: 2K monitor 1: 4K TV 3: Case fans Liquid cooler with a single fan (not sure the brand) Is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze (620W) good enough and enough room for a future GPU upgrade? I would honestly...

Dotas1 is correct. I would not use that PSU for anything other than integrated GPU's.

Here is an awesome PSU from one of my favorite brands for $99 at B&H. I just bought the 600w version for my son's first build.

I browsed through the website on my phone, it wouldn't load right on my PC. I do see some decent power supplies offered.

Corsair (CX's)
Seasonic (Focus GX /GM or Core GC/GM/GX) Stay away from A12 and S12's
Cooler Master (MWE's)

If you have doubts, I would use the PSU Tier List link dotas1 posted to cross compare with Lazada.

If you already have that Seasonic PSU use it their nothing wrong with them, it's just a older design.

It's a tier D...

Tier C and yes it was made by Seasonic.

 

[dotas1]

@Zerk2012 It's a tier D. Tier C is the S12III, not S12II.
As for if it's made by seasonic, I might be wrong (probably am). I do remember reading a review on them few years back that stated that.

Even at tier C, which is not, I wouldn't risk a good gpu. Maybe it's just me but I prefer having a good PSU to power a good GPU.

Edit: I was also answering to the other guy that said it's good enough to power a 3070.

 

[Quanticriver]

Let's be real here:

it is a lower end seasonic PSU - YES
Will it fail? - MAYBE
Will it take any other components with it? - NO (it's not THAT low end)
Can it power a 3050ti - YES, very probable

Should OP swap to a better psu? it would be best, but his current one will also work

I would change the NO to probably NO because it does lack protections. It might fail but can also damage something else with a very low probability.

I can agree with that
I'd argue that if you treat it as a 550W you'd be fine
