I am upgrading my PSU to give my son my EVGA B3 550w. I was set on this one from Seasonic: https://www.newegg.ca/seasonic-focu...x-650w/p/N82E16817151186?Item=N82E16817151186
I'm waffling now and instead leaning towards this one from Corsair: https://www.newegg.ca/corsair-rmx-s...a-650w/p/N82E16817139232?Item=N82E16817139232
The Corsair will be about $7 cheaper in the end. The Seasonic has a smaller fan, but it's of better quality. The Corsair has Japanese capacitors, but I've read Seasonic has good ones too. Tom's Hardware does pretty extensive reviews of PSU's and they seem to love Corsair. The Newegg reviews of both are no help, except Seasonic has a lot more reviews.
I was going to go 750w, but I have a 3600 CPU and don't plan on going any higher than a 3060ti for a GPU, which will last me as long as the PSU. My Sapphire 5700XT draws more power now than it will.
I know both will be good choices, but if pushed, which would you go with? Does one have significantly better/easier-to-route cables or some other intangibles? I've never owned either brand, but don't just want to get another EVGA...I like to try new stuff. I do however love the EVGA and how I never even notice that it's there...
