First of all, as for your VGA, pick the 650ti boost instead, because it's stronger than the 560ti while consumes less power. As for PSU, Seasonic s12II is definitely the way to go, due to expert quality. Corsair's VS series and Cougar's SL series are as bad as each other in terms of performance.

I cant buy a seasonic from newegg :/
im from philippines
and seasonic S12ii cost around 65$(converted) here.

John Limuel Talusan :

Don't skimp on the PSU! It is the only component that can, if it fails, take out your entire computer!

You can't go wrong with Seasonic!

guys! seasonic s12ii/m12ii 520w 80+ bronze for my GTX 650 ti boost is enough?
not planning on having a SLI/CrossFire setup

Madn3ss795 · Jun 28, 2013

S12ii/M12II 520w is more than enough for even 2 GTX650ti boost in your system

John Limuel Talusan · Jun 28, 2013

Madn3ss795 :

if this is really true , i think ill get a SLI/CrossFire mobo if a single GTX 650 ti boost is insufficient.
is there no else better than seasonic s12ii for the same price or + some?

John Limuel Talusan :

You might look at the XFX models..They are made by Seasonic.

Madn3ss795 · Jun 28, 2013

I don't think there are any, unless you can find a tier1 PSU from the list below at that price:

( S12ii/M12ii sits at tier 2a, which is really high )

What site do you purchase from ?

John Limuel Talusan · Jun 28, 2013

here in the philippines
there is a place called "Gilmore"
its like a Computer Stuff Paradise XD (for me)
they have lot of stuff with low prices ( low by 5-10$ ) <- not discounted, they dont give discounts.

here in our country we cant order from newegg :/

s12ii - 65$
m12ii - 80$

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 28, 2013

The S12ii will get the job done, but the M12ii IS MODULAR and keeps your build neater.

John Limuel Talusan · Jun 28, 2013

Yes I think ill get a m12ii for a neat build + good air flow

KnowItAll · Jun 28, 2013

The XFX I suggested is Seasonic. If you can't order from Newegg then the Seasonic you listed is very good.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 28, 2013

I agree!
