Hi,

Just in the process of finalising my first build, have narrowed it down to two PSU's, the SeaSonic SS-620GM2 EVO edition and XFX P1-650X-XXB9. Both are about 200 watts above what my system needs but am leaving my self enough head room for the future.

Had a look at the PSU tier list and they both seem pretty good, just wanted some advice as to which would be the best option. Although am leaning toward the SeaSonic as it is fully modular.

Thanks

SR

Seasonic if you prefer cable managment,XFX if you wanna have slightly more watts. ;) 
I would pick the Seasonic.

Any differences reliability wise or is simply a choice of full/ semi modular or more watts for the money

No real difference,Seasonic makes the XFX PSUs,so the quality is pretty much the same.
I would get the Seasonic,as it is cheaper and 30W isn't really a big difference.And having a fully-modular PSU is a big plus.

Meh, as long as it's at least semi-modular, you're good. You don't need full modular except if you're installing a second PSU in your PC. I would say get the XFX unit and 30 more watts:)  Or, you can save some money and get the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 G1, which is cheaper.

Hi - Yes Seasonic makes the XFX PSU's. In this instance if I were you I would get the XFX for the xtra
5 +12v amps and the 5yr warranty vs 3yr on the EVO. As mentioned above semi-mod is just as good
as full mod in a 1 PSU system.
