Hi guys

As the title says I'm between these two PSU, which one do you recommend and why?
What I've found so far; GQ is gold, M12II is bronze. GQ ripple not so good at 100% load.
I'm from Argentina, here their prices are similar.

Thanks in advance.

I recommend the EVGA model. While its ripple suppression isn't the best in the world, it's fine as long as you aren't trying to break world overclocking records.

The Seasonic model is pretty good, but it's an older model and simply doesn't have newer features like compatibility with CPU sleep states, seen on Intel Haswell and newer Intel CPUs.

If you have a newer Intel CPU, you'd have to turn off CPU sleep states in BIOS to avoid issues with the Seasonic model.

Only the 520 and 620w M12IIs weren't Haswell ready(updated EVO models are compatible). The 650, 750 and 850w models were compatible from launch.

Nothing really power hungry right now (current psu made by sirtec), but at my local store there's no big difference in price between a GQ 650w and GQ 750W. Besides, psu models with less wattage are crap in that store.
