At least for me

I would say listen to the list

Looking at efficiency wouldn't tell you a while lot about the quality so trusting the list won't hurt 😉

The RM650 is a pretty good PSU and will be a better PSU for future upgrades. Has a 10 year warranty. Alternates to the RM650 would be the Seasonic Focus GX-650, the ADATA XPG CORE Reactor or Antec High Current Gamer Gold if you can find them in stock for a reasonable price.

That font doesn't really have a meaning it's more aesthetics

I thought Gold means best in tier though (and that they run quiet under moderate load) and black is just normal. 

 

@Bobthehomie13 Honestly though, the only reason to get a gold of the same tier would be if it was within $10-15 of the normal options in the same tier.

I'd rather suggest getting the RMx, instead of the regular RM.

Even the RM550x will be plenty for your build.
