550W Gold CM, 620W Bronze Seasonic, 750W Bronze CM. Which option is best?

Hi all,

I'm putting together a new build for a friend of mine, which will mainly be used for browsing and gaming. I'm done selecting the parts except for the PSU. The options I have found are all roughly the same price (the G750M is the cheapest of the three funnily enough) and they're all semi-modular but as the title states their stats are quite different. I was wondering if you guys could help me deciding which is best out of these three:

Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular (gold rating)
Seasonic M12II Evo 620W (bronze rating)
Cooler Master G750M (bronze rating)

From what I've read so far, Seasonic seems to be the best brand and whilst CM's V-line is generally considered as pretty good, the rest of their PSUs are apparently better to avoid. The G750M has a higher wattage though, which might be safer to use with the R9 290.

The rest of the build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 Boxed
MB: ASRock Z97 Anniversary
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4G
HDD : Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003, 1TB
SSD : Crucial MX100 128GB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Case: Antec Three Hundred Two

Hope y'all can help me out!

Does it have to be from those 3? You don't need a 750watt and it is not "safer to use."

Not necessarily, but these were the best I could find. I'm buying in The Netherlands via this website: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/ (the product name goes into the 'Zoek een product' box at the top). If you give me some names I can check if I can get them and for what price.

Cooler Master G750M seems like a good choice given that it's the cheapest of the lot & is backed by a 5yrs warranty ~

Antec Neo Eco 620C is a pretty good deal at 65€

Thanks for the suggestions. Is the Antec you linked, lehtv, better than the one's in the OP? Reason I'm asking is because my friend told me that he doesn't care if its €10,- cheaper or more expensive.

Seasonic M12II Evo is a newer design with 5 year warranty and semi-modular cables (which may help in a small case like Antec 302, just for tidiness). It's definitely a good buy as well.

Alright I think I'll go for the Seasonic then. Thanks lehtv!
