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.. brows.gif It has the same platform as the Seasonic M12II IINM. wink.gif

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. flex.gif flex.gif

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. tongue.gif

It's hard to determine the quality of PSUs without knowing the underlying OEM. icon_idea.gif

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... sweat.gif
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. icon_idea.gif

Wait,so they are no longer bringing in Antec PSUs?! doh.gif Eloklah,bring in crappy PSUs like CM's so called Extreme and Elite series,but decent ones like Antec VP is a no-more. doh.gif

Hi, just want to ask will my PSU can handle crossfire? Here's my rig

CPU i7-2600K
CPU Cooler Corsair H100
MOBO Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD7-B3
RAM Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1866C10
GPU Sapphire R9 270X
PSU SEASONIC M12II 750W
HDD Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD + WD Black 2TB
Chassis Cooler Master HAF X

I wanted to add another R9 270X for crossfire but afraid that my PSU can't handle it. Thanks in advance!
