I need to decide which PSU to get because there are so many good out there.

EVGA 550w G3 80+ Gold for £81.21 (Ebuyer)
Corsair TX550M 80+ Gold for £71.28 (Ebuyer)
Corsair RM550x 80+ Gold for £84 (Ebuyer)
Seasonic SS-620GM2 M12II-EVO 620W 80+ Bronze for £83 (Amazon UK)

Please help me decide which one is better. Thanks

All are good power supplies. The EVGA really jumps out from the choices you listed, really nice feature of this supply vs. the others it has a great warranty 7 years and a self test built in. Depends on what your system build is as far a wattage needs. The Seasonic is solid but it is a bronze rated power supply vs. the EVGA which is gold rated with less of a warranty than the EVGA.

From your choices I'd get the EVGA.

Rip off at that price. Rather mediocre quality, something you'd expect for <£40.

Much better than the M12ii 620, still a level beneath the G3 / RMx. Also rather loud

EVGA 550w G3 80+ Gold for £81.21

Electrical performance and quality are very good. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/evga-supernova-650-g3-psu,5533-12.html
It does have some issues with protections and is a little audible

Corsair RM550x 80+ Gold for £84

Slightly (negligible) less electrical performance to the EVGA G3. Working protections and very quiet. This is my recommendation, despite the most expensive.

You could also look for the Bitfenix Whisper, or Seasonic Focus Plus.
