Which seasonic PSU between 500-600W would you recommend?

[pcbuildingnoob101]

My maximum budget is around £75 ($125) and I will be using an intel i5-4690k processor. I am struggling to choose one. Which would you recommend?

I would recommend this but it's not the best.

This is a good PSU, made by Super Flower. But still need to know your specs so I can confirm it's enough.

XFX exclusively use Super Flower, but they're just as good as SeaSonic.

If not better, I did know they didn't make their own, so just went 50/50 and said seasonic :/

Sorry guys.

Here are the rest of my specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (£166.97 @ Ebuyer)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£100.52 @ Ebuyer)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£68.16 @ Scan.co.uk)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£38.98 @ CCL Computers)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case (£65.99 @ Novatech)

I haven't decided my GPU yet, I'm afraid. IT will probably be a GTX 770 or a R9 280x

http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151040 - This one is unavailable in the UK.

I may go for XFX, but I have heard that seasonic are the very best.

no, they are joint 1st with suoperflower, all three won't screw up. a 600W would be enough for that build

In the 'Power Supply Unit tier list' linked above, the M12II 650 is rated as Tier 1. Is this : http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-seasonic-m12ii-hybrid-modular-80plus-bronze-1x120mm-silent-fan-atx-psu-dc-dc that same PSU? If so, I may just go for this for the quality.

 

[legend001523]

yes, that's fine

 

[pcbuildingnoob101]

Yeah, this one http://www.cclonline.com/product/62301/P1-550S-XXB9/Power-Supplies/XFX-Pro-550W-Power-Supply-Unit/PSU0246/?siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-ayDgABHNf_XUrwoK6elfNg posted seems pretty good. I may just go for it. Is it new? Will it be fully compatible with the latest Intel processors?

 

[legend001523]

yes that's fine, yes, any psu is compatible with any cpu, motherboard etc, Just need the right watt

[pcbuildingnoob101]

Sorry to bother you, but is there a modular version of a similar PSU?

 

[legend001523]

No sorry, I can't find any :/

 

[pcbuildingnoob101]

http://www.morecomputers.com/extra.aspx?pn=P1-650B-BEFX&referer=PCPart - Would this be suitable?

 

[legend001523]

yes, that's even better than the one before
