Seasonic S12ii 620 watt for 100 usd or Bitfenix Whisper M 650 watt for 120 usd? yep, prices here in Egypt are really bad, but I really don't have a choice. There's also some CM B v2., some FSP shit, bitfenix BPA, CM MatterWatt Lite, ThermalTake smart and SPS, and CM GMseries. the others I've mentioned are a bit cheaper I believe. what do you guys recommend? For comparasion, outside egypt the Seasonic one goes for 50 USD and the Bitfenix goes for 90 USD. Both have only 2 year warranties.

Not doubt, the bit Fenix whisper m is much better quality. The whisper can be compared to top end units like the EVGA g2 or corsair RMx.

The bitfenix whisper M has better electrical performance, build quality, and fully modular. If you can afford it, go with the Bitfenix whisper M.

Also, I doubt you even need 600w+. Most single GPU systems use below 350w.

Thank you everyone for your answers.

I know I don't need a 600w+ PSU, but all the power supplies around 600w in Egypt are really bad from what I've found. I've mentioned most of them above. So in your opinion the Bitfenix is worth the 30 usd more than the seasonic, right?

I would say so, unless the money could be better spent on another part of your build.
Could you please provide a list of parts for this build?

So, are you just upgrading the PSU? If so, the Bitfenix is worth it.

If this is the build you may build, I suggest the newer architecture if available (Ryzen/Kabylake/GTX 1060). I'd also suggest adding an SSD in there.

Yeah I'm just buying a new PSU, but I'm kind of on budget as well. The prices here in Egypt are unbelievable. If I buy the seasonic, will there be any noticeable difference in performance or longevity? cause if not, I might as well save $20. I mean I'm using an OCZ power supply lol

The bit Fenix whisper will supply better longevity for itself and other components. Better efficiency which importance depends on your electricity price. Since it has better ripple it would help overclock your CPU/GPU better. And the fully modularity will make cable management clean, and easy.
