Just because I want opinions about a new brand that I never heard of that makes it whack?
It is if you have no critera for a power supply. You have NO criteria at all.
You know what I do when I get a PM asking me what PSU I suggest for them? Delete. Even between the Seasonic and Enermax Liberty, you have modular vs. non-modular.
If you really have no criteria for a power supply, why pay for modular, bling, extra power, etc?
If you have no criteria for a power supply, just get an Enhance or Silverstone Element 500W (same thing) that Galvanized suggested.
It has zero bling, isn't modular, but it puts out what it's rated to do and is 80+ efficient and is very quiet. Otherwise, you're going to get bombarded by a myraid of "personal opinions."
Honestly, the best choice you made was your first choice: The Seasonic. If that PSU meets your standards and fits the budget, someone shouldn't be talking you out of it with suggestions of blingified modular units... unless that's what YOU want. But it's expensive and is more than what you need (in my opinion) so the Enhance/Silverstone is a better choice.

No. And it's cool that you want to know more about the product before you buy it. But more often than not, people that don't have "real experience" with anything else if they actually use one (most responses will be from people that just "read a good review.")
Keep in mind that most of the user opinions here are just that; "opinions." Usually based on personal, limited experiences or based on something they read somewhere else. Take everything with a grain of salt.
