Hi everybody

I'm building a budget gaming PC and was wondering which power supply to choose

PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bCJRYr

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($104.99)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($46.99)
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($39.99)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99)
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card ($141.69)
Case: Rosewill Line-M MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($37.40)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($46.99)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($79.99)
Other: JBtek All Black Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable 1 to 2 Converter ($5.99)
Total: $552.02 (including tax)

I was going to get the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply but just yesterday they reduced the price of EVGA BQ 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply from $54.99 to $49.99
It's only a $3.00 difference and I was wondering if the BQ was a good model
I've searched but can's seem to find any reviews about the 500W BQ

Thanks

Well,neither,you're better off with one of these,

if wanting something of similar price is the 430watt S12II already good quality and more than enough wattage.You could even power a gtx 1070 with that one in the system you llok at.
The Corsair CX450M,also a good choice,is on top of that semi modular and Haswell compatible,not that many people have issues with that,but maybe a good thing nonetheless.
The 520/620watt S12II i put in that link for the price,but wattage wise are they not strictly necessary.
