Both are top quality , the SEASONIC is great and so is that Cooler Master made by ENHANCE.

Even better.

EVGA SuperNova G2 550

Since your not going to SLI go for the 550w G2.

It's the best 550w PSU on the market based on the award winning Super Flower Leadex Gold series with a 7 year warranty.

Performance (40% of the final score) - you probably already know what I'm going...

Never had anything faulty from CM so they're a good bet.

Who's running online sales for Seasonic? That photo is terrible!

Edit: That being said, fully modular is definitely the way to go. Would you look at others?

Performance (40% of the final score) - you probably already know what I'm going to say here. Voltage regulation was excellent, averaging 0.9% in the hot box. No points deducted. Efficiency was a pass for Gold both times. No deduction. Ripple control was amazing, and probably the best I've ever seen, so definitely no deduction there. I saw no issues with anything else, so this unit gets a 10 here.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - this unit gets everything right. Even the CPU cable, which I thought was terrible on the 650W, is done right here today. Semi fanless mode works well, the manual is decent, we got lots of connectors to power anything a 550W unit should power, and the box came with more goodies than I tend to expect with such a small unit. 10.

Value (20% of the final score) - you can get one of these for $84.99 at Newegg right now. That's a fair bit for a unit this size these days, but as always EVGA is right at the bottom of the cost pile when it comes to 80 Plus Gold and full modularity. The nearest competition is their own 550W GS unit at one dollar more money. This is nuts. How are you making any money on these, EVGA? 10.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - oh, snap... EVGA just got another perfect total score. There's nothing wrong with this unit. Nothing. 10.
