Hi I can't decide between these PSUs:

Be Quiet! pure power l8 530w price: 73€
Seasonic M12II-520W price: 61€
Enermax Triathlor eco 550w price: 75€

Silence and modular cables is what I'm looking for.
You can post links of other PSUs you recommend but probably they are not available in my country.

The Seasonic and it's the least expensive.

Be quiet has some good PSU's & some not so good, the L8 above is not so good.

Enermax is an OEM & mfg some good units, but the one above they don't mfg themselves.

Seasonic is an OEM and the m12II is a solid platform.

OK thanks, I read that it has a louder fan than the S12, isn't it too loud? (Now I have an Enermax NAXN 450W, and I can hear it)

I believe the M12II is an overall improved model from the orog M12 and would be surprised if
fan noise was an issue. Your case fan(s) are likely to generate more noise than the
PSU fan.
