So going for the EVGA 500B would be no difference? I'm a big pc noob while the SS power supply looks good I want more watts if i ever upgrade in the future

evga will save you a dollar or two a year (depending on energy costs) if you run your computer 24/7, but it also gives you a little room to expand, might want to check power requirements for any graphics card you may want to put in there, no graphics card builds will be under 500W so if that's what you have in mind get the evga

I don't know what power supply I should get. The EVGA 500B or the SeaSonic 350B? I'm not gonna be overclocking on my future build and the max watts my future build pulls is 222W.

Both are "meh" so I'd get whichever is cheaper.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
