I hear you loud and clear, i was putting way to much thinking into it definitely

Sorry for late response. I am a bit conufsed now, isn't MWE V2 MPE model grayed out in the current list? Btw that exact model is available and all units are around the same price point... And just so we are clear, you still think MWE is better choice than S12iii even if it's just 80+ certified? Also S12iii comes with 5 years warranty as opposed to 3 years for MWE... I will skip LC model...

Why is it grayed out now? I am pretty sure it was regular few days ago... I am building a PC for a friend with 5500 xt 8gb, Ryzen 1600 AF and 8gb of RAM, and was thinking about getting 550w version, but i am not sure right now and would use some advice. Offer is not great in that price range, and the only "ok" units are Chieftec Proton BDF-S (2 years warranty), Cooler Master MWE White and Masterwatt Lite and LC Power Super Silent...so if there's something wrong with S12iii, then it will be really hard to find something decent...

It's decent, i'd say go for it if it's cheaper than Antec HCG Gold or same price as EAG Pro. Great, i will consider it definitely.

I will check of course. I think i fell good enough buying Antec, even the pre 2020 version as i also could not find 1 bad thing about it...reviews are also solid so i think it's a good choice. https://www.thermaltake.com/toughpower-grand-rgb-650w-gold-full-modular.html Btw ty for great answers, you are awesome

@JuularHave few questions about these damned Focus based power supplies Somehow all PSUs i found that are half way decent turn out to be based on same problematic Focus platform: ASUS Rog Strix, Antec Earthwatts Pro Gold and Seasonic Core GC/GM (650w models). So here are my questions: 1. Antec PSU is marked gold in B+ tier for pre 2020 models...is it then confirmed that they don't suffer from GPU shutdown problems? Also are these models branded as "EAW" in spreadsheet document? There is also "EA" pro gold model in spreadsheet, so it is a bit confusing as the actual model name is EA650G PRO. 2. As there is a high chance both ASUS and Antec are pre 2020 models, what would you advice me to buy from mentioned PSUs? Should i stick to Seasonic, or maybe try some other brand? The only options from higher tiers are FSP Hydro GE, Thermaltake Toughpower Grand /DPS G and Cooler Master MWE Gold. I will use RX 580 Nitro+ with Ryzen 2600 or 3600. I know it's not a problematic GPU, but if i upgrade with beefier card in the future i would not like to experience any problems...

Why are Seasonic Core GC / GM / GX grayed out in tier B+? I could not find anything bad about them in the spreadsheet and the reviews say all the best...i even read somewhere that Seasonic stated that they don't have Focus series problems...
