Power Supply (suggestions)
Hi guys,

Im in the market for a semi/fully modular power supply unit.

This is my rig:
i5 4690k
Asus z97-AR
Gtx 560ti
Corsair vengeance 8gb ram
3 HDDs, 1 SSD

I will be upgrading my gpu next year (single card, no sli) and maybe a custom wc setup before summers start, nothing too fancy or overkill.

I need a psu that can handle all of this. My preferred brand for psu would be Seasonic. If you feel that any other brand is better or is as good as seasonic, you are most welcome to bring that up to my knowledge.

I wont be able to afford anything from the platinum range.

Note that, here in my country, we only have a limited number of PSU brands available to us. *Available brands are listed below:
Seasonic
Corsair
Cooler Master
Antec

**Evga is not here yet :( 

Thank you

Exactly. M12 II 650 is haswell compatible. See here.

Otherwise the S12II series are solid power supplies. I use one myself. For your rig, if you can find one, I will also recommend a S12II 750, if you do not want modular.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately 650w model is not listed on the website, they have a 620w model.
But thats not an issue, i might just go for a 750w.

What are your thoughts on 'X' and 'S12G' series? They're all priced similarly and i'm confused.

Edit: just found out that the S12G is not modular. But would still like to know how it performs.
Edit 2: Anything below 750W from the S12G series are not certified for haswell link

Seasonic M12II 650. A Solid one for the price, and it will be able to hold even a GTX 980.
