go with the 500w seasonic . if that is the two choices . a 500w seasonic will be fine - you could probably get away with 450w but stick to 500w to...

I am from Pakistan and cx is damn expensive here and i will not get seasonic s12ii from any where here and i am getting these options from a retailer here he is selling them in good price but i know seasonic is good psu but what about 500 watts will this be enough for this pc and if i choose k proc in future and try some oc on it because enermax one is 525 watt?

whilst it might not be the best seasonic psu out there it should still be reliable for your uses imo .

i understand the price problem of the middle east and the lack of choice .

the seasonic isn't terrible and if that is the only two choices then it's seasonic all day everyday imo.

i would delve further personally but the OP is right about the prices and the availability - they get a lot of unbranded and low end stuff .

i answered his question but if someone else can find him something superior i'd be glad to have my answer deselected for the benefit of the OP .

you're welcome and i am sincere in what i said - if someone can get you a better item that is within your budget i'd be happy for you. A little icon against my name means nothing compared to a fully working and stable system for you :)
