Just read some of it's reviews under sources, but it should be fine in most situations, think it only has problems powering high power draw GPUs.

 

What's your budget/country?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Hungary

 

I have around 100 USD, my maximum is what it costs the seasonic focus 650 gold. I need a 600-650 watt power supply which is gold rated.

 

I am disappointed and surprised in the same time, because the seasonis is the most expensive in my country and it is a big surprise that it has issues with high power consumption graphics cards.

even in this article the guy said that it is overpower the factory standards... is it really bad? Because I read about this PSU a lot and only here I read about problems, everybody said that it is extremely great 5 star

but I wanted to get the 650 watt gold seasonic focus plus... does it have the same problem as the 550 watt seasonic gold power supply?

 

the thread mentions only the 550 watt

 

What do you guys know about it?

 

I want to order a decent power supply for at least 6-8 years usage.

and I would like to order it today.

 

thanks

Just buy an rmx and be happy.

 

10 year warranty so it will last much longer than your 6-8 years required.

This is an okay price for me, its for a 100 bucks here as well, and if I see it correctly it is A recommended, am I right?

 

thank you
