Mobo: MSI B150 Gaming M3 Motherboard
Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 Black
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB 2.5in SSD
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8GB
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Chassis Black
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620W EVO Edition Bronze Power Supply or EVGA SuperNOVA G1 Gold 650W Power Supply
Optical drive: ASUS DRW-24D5MT 24x DVD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64bit OEM DVD
Wifi: TP-Link TL-WN881ND Wireless N PCI Express Adapter ( need this in the meantime... plan on getting a Ethernet cable wired to my room through wall)

What PSU should i go for im thinking out of these?:

2. Seasonic M12II 620W EVO Edition Bronze Power Supply

Any advice would be very much appreciated cheers.

Yeah - go with what fits your budget. Personally, I don't think of the xtra warranty (nice to have tho) as a deal
breaker one way or the other as I don't envision running the same PSU that long even if it's still functioning.

mmm yeah good point, on another forum people were saying the seasonic . I cant find any bad reviews about the EVGA g1 so to me it seems better value for $$. 5 years more warranty also.

seasonic has a cult following and for good reason. I am a bit more pragmatic, evga is made by superflower will stand behind it for longer. they both should both happlily last @7 years, depending on the price difference the warranty and power difference is enough for me

Hi - The 650 G1 is made by FSP not Superflower.

EVGA G1 might be best off i think , even though its not as good as the g2 but thats over my budget. Im liking the G1 becuase the extra 5 years warranty so 10 years, has nice looking black sleeved cables,
by the looks of it the EVGA G1 has 53A of 12V rail delivering giving you 636W and the Seasonic has 48A of 12V rail giving out 576W. I think there both still good power supply's but the EVGA G1 might be best for the $$.
