Hey guys
Probably this month I will build my first budget pc
I'm planning to pick the legend power supply seasonic S12ii 650W for my skylake system

Is it good for today and few years later? or it's time to pick the newer power supply?
 
Solution
Well it will do a fine job, especially when you're on a budget.

I'd take a look at
Super Flower Leadex / Golden King
Corsair RMx
Seasonic G
XFX XTR / TS Gold

Ultimately the S12II will do just fine

450-550W are easily enough even with an i7

@turkey3_scratch aaahhh mistake happen m8 :3 seasonic s12ii 620 w

@Gallarian sadly no one sell EVGA power supply in my country ( or their gpu -_-). Something else maybe?
Or the seasonic it's fine and will rocking in the next few years
 


I wouldn't really call it a "legend". It advertises it has multirails for better protection but is actually single-rail. It uses a fairly old, 7 year-old, design, too. It's a decent power supply and should be reliable, but it's not like it's some legendary thing. It doesn't even support the Skylake sleep states (you can disable that in the BIOS, it just saves power when the computer is in sleep). It just seems a little ironic to use a legendary PSU with a Skylake CPU when that legendary PSU doesn't have full support of said CPU's features.
 


Well it does support Skylake CPUs. Just not the sleep states. And how can we make a recommendation without knowing your specs and country?
