EVGA 650 GQ 210-GQ-0650-V1 80+ GOLD 650W Modular EVGA ECO Mode Power Supply

Newegg's got that PSU for $69.99 FS + $6.99 ship - $10 MIR right now.

Only a 5-year warranty, but 100% Japanese Caps, EVGA quality, 80Plus Gold rating.

Seems like the currently-cheapest 80Plus Gold with Jpn Caps?

Looking for something "enthusiast decent", 80Plus Gold, Jpn caps, decent warranty, etc.

Rig is a Ryzen 3 1200 (potentially OC from 3.1Ghz to 3.8Ghz), RX 560 or RX 570 card, 16GB DDR4-3000, one SATA SSD, some USB devices, not much else. Not really a very heavy rig.

I actually just built it for my friend yesterday, and it behaved OK at my place, but I dropped him back off with the new PC, and overnight, it started rebooting on him. (Starting at a "Movie Site", which makes me suspect maybe some sort of exploit or mining trojan.) Or maybe his so-so Rosewill Glacier 80Plus Bronze / 3-year warranty (brand new out of the box yesterday) PSU is already failing. Not the greatest reviews when it comes to DOA PSUs. I had him remove the overclock, 3.8Ghz @ 1.375V which should have been straightforward.

I've used that power supply before and it's great. No problems at all with it.

That said the Seasonic fully modular w/10yr. warranty is actually cheaper after rebate and shipping:

Yeah, I saw that Focus Plus 650W 80Plus Gold by Seasonic a little later.

It seems that the problem on my friend's PC that I just built him, wasn't the PSU after all, or I got two different model types of DOA Rosewill PSUs. (Seems unlikely?) Pretty sure at this point that it's the board.

I picked up that Seasonic 650w for $93 tax total shipping out the door with the promo code. Will be my first Seasonic and its replacing a 750w CX750 which i am not trusting to power a 8700 non k and 1070ti for that much longer . I do realize this is slightly necro but meh i wouldn't know where to start on picking up a solid modular psu and well that one did stand out to me review wise. I seriously wanna go back to modular anyways. Been years since i had one.

damn -- 2 DOA`s Rosewill?? They are an award winning maker of top quality defense department approved PSU!!

I have a Rosewill Capstone 750m that worked fine for ten months, then started rebooting, and then just went murder suicide on my mobo and a sata ssd HDD a week ago.
