Welcome all I had ordered the Seasonic M12II-620 80 PLUS Bronze but I've switched my order to a G-650 for the sake of the 80Plus Gold rating an a extra £6.04, this build I'm looking for long term stability and with the reputation Seasonic has this seemed like a safe bet, rather than Corsair bronze rated PSU's at this price range which get very mixed customer reviews. Please bare in mind I have no intention of future a SLI setup with this build and aesthetic are of no importance: Corsair Carbide Series 500R Zotac gtx 670 Maximus V gene Dark rock 2 Intel Core i5 3570k Corsair Vengeance 8GB LP Samsung 250GB Basic SSD DVD drive Thanks for indulging me.
It's a good psu man. And that seems about right from a reputable e-tailer. They take a bit more than they are rated for also... probably closer to 700 watt than 650... mine, the x-series model - is close to 800w before shutting down according to Kitguru. JonnyGURU likes both these models which is always good enough for me.
Excellent input, SCAN is the only place I know that sell the G-series. It's a shame more online shops in the UK don't sell Seasonc PSU's or at least one's that haven't been rebranded. Edit: would 10+ year life span be overly optimistic with this PSU.
I'm ashamed to say I've never owned one this long. But I didn't own a PC till 4 or 5 years ago... (at least not one that wasn't just a time machine pron kiosk)
It is a good price, just a shame there is such a leap from the price of the 550w model. OCUK do the full lineup as well (360, 450, 550 & 650w), but can't match the SCAN pre-order price on the 650w unit.
