I recommend the Corsair grey-label CX or CXM. Much better than the EVGA BR and S12ii.

They are not too different quality wise from the s12ii/m12ii.

Independent regulation on a way newer design, a full set of protections, and much more in-depth testing is a big difference in my books.

Yes, but efficiency wise they are at par.

"In what is likely the highest scoring group regulated unit I have ever tested, Seasonic has something really special here. A nice, quiet, efficient, and well performing unit that is affordable for just about any budget. Go forth and buy one, loyal readers."

For the intended purpose, there is no practical performance difference between the S12ii and a newer Corsair CX[M]. Whichever the budget allows will be fine.
