PSU's

[Lays]

Need a 550-650watt psu for a friend's build, fully modular would be best, Corsair RM series best option? Or should I look into other stuff?

Corsair, seasonic and silverstone are the best on the market, RM series is good.

RM Series is OK, but I would buy other brands personally.

I was looking at the seasonic g series, but it's semi modular

 

any suggestions?

The G series is better component wise. If you want full modular, the Seasonic X series should be considered.

The 650w and lower models of the RM are great, the 750w and higher are still good, but I would go with another series or brand if you're going 750w or higher(obviously you're not).

 

Fully modular is a very expensive thing, so the RM 550w/650w is great for the price point, but you could go with a 750w XFX PSU(fully modular): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029

 

XFX uses Seasonic as their OEM, so you're always getting a great PSU from XFX(Corsair varies however, some are from Seasonic while others are from CWT[still a good OEM btw], etc.).

 

Use this article to see who is behind almost every PSU since January 2013: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.html

 

If you want to know about any future PSU's, just Google the model number and various review sites like JohnnyGuru always say the full details behind every PSU they review.
