No contest,
PSU Seasonic SS-600ET

That's a Seasonic OEM unit, not really sure how you would compare it to a retail PSU. Specs are really close though, except for the warranty. 3yrs vs 1yr.

Bossyfins · Apr 14, 2015

SeaSonic PSU for sure. Although, I can't compare prices due to unavailability...

But even then, SeaSonic.

CorsairJoseph :

If thats OEM does it create any problems for it?

zanuffas · Apr 15, 2015

I would be able to change it to
PSU Seasonic M12II-EVO520 520W 80 Plus Bronze retail but is 520W enough for this pc if I want to overclock it?

Bossyfins · Apr 15, 2015

Try for 600. 520 is safe, but over years the wattage output decreases, so It would be better to get a 600 watt

zanuffas :

No, it doesn't. They are still well built and well designed, but they are more catered to System intergrators and the likes who buys them in bulk. It's just you lose some of the perks a retail unit have, like shorter warranty and often times, cables not being sleeved.
