QUOTE(y4ng @ May 30 2014, 09:43 AM) Hello to all! I am looking for a 600W above modular (cos easier sleeving) PSU. I like that Antec 620W...but is there a better or more competitive priced PSU? Thank you! Rig specs? Seasonic M12II Modular 80+ Bronze 620W RM359 CoolerMaster V650 Semi Modular 80+ Gold 650W RM399 Just go for the cheapest option..Antec HCG-620M Modular 80+ Bronze RM310 from GBros@GS..  It has the same platform as the Seasonic M12II IINM.

QUOTE(y4ng @ Jun 2 2014, 07:15 PM) Aerocool 800W PSU will get smashed by Seasonic M12II/S12II/S12G series.. Ask Sentinel92,i'm sure he'll say the same thing. This post has been edited by Minecrafter: Jun 2 2014, 09:00 PM

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Jun 2 2014, 09:34 PM) What do I have to do with this ahahha. But yeah , avoid Aerocool PSUs. Seasonic is still the safest bet. Or even the Antec HCG since its seasonic OEM. Or any PSUs that are Seasonic OEM. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(afosz @ Jul 17 2014, 07:17 AM) What do you mean by 'its build quality' ? You mean the GTX 760 build quality ? The PSU..get Antec VP-550P 80+ Bronze RM199 instead..better.  Or the 650W version. *don't know the price,can't load the price list..*

QUOTE(ryant3o @ Dec 19 2014, 11:48 PM) Most probably a mid-tier card like the R7 260X or at most a GTX760. Is 500W enough ? You can power up one lf the cards you mentioned above with 500W.

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Dec 28 2014, 04:35 PM) It's hard to determine the quality of PSUs without knowing the underlying OEM. Both PSUs you have mentioned above are of excellent quality, though I'm leaning the Seasonic since Antec does not have a distributor here anymore...  Another option you may want to consider: Seasonic M12II EVO 520 - RM279 This is an improved version of the M12II, and the advantage over the S12II is modular cabling, where you can remove any unused cables from the PSU for easier cable management.  Wait,so they are no longer bringing in Antec PSUs?!  Eloklah,bring in crappy PSUs like CM's so called Extreme and Elite series,but decent ones like Antec VP is a no-more.
