This will be by build.
Maximus vii hero.
970 strix.
i5 4690k.(I will be overclocking in the future)
1 tb hdd.
People say that a 650w psu will be enough for me.
So after some research I found these two psu's which are available to me.
1. Cooler master v650
2.seasonic x650.
I know both are good but I don't want to make a mistake.

Edit, woops this info is wrong, grab the seasonic.

Doesn't matter they are both the same PSU just different branding.

no they arent the same actually. cooler master V650 is Enhance electonics made not Seasonic! only V700 and above are Seasonic made and only full modular.

although v650 is a good unit, the Seasonic x650 is easily better!

Without going into much detail, SeaSonic, The Enhance built V650 is by no means a bad PSU, but IMO, doesn't compete with the SeaSonic X-series (plus the SeaSonic has 4 PCIe connectors while the Cooler Master only has 2)

Buy the seasonic, everyone knows there quality is better than that of corairs, even though corsairs are not bad if your trying to save a couple bucks

Woops, I was looking at the jonnyguru review for the v850 instead of the v650, sorry everyone. Thanks for catching my screw up.

Edit, I have edited the previous post but left in the incorrect information for context, stroked it out though.
