You say not to cheap out, and then recommend Seasonic. I'd say avoid a brand that was notoriously the cheapest option in recent history.

A lot of brands, Seasonic among them, vary from model to model. The last time I felt like I could just blindly stick with a brand was PC Power & Cooling, and they've since been absorbed by OCZ, so... ?

Some Seasonic are probably among the best consumer power supplies you can find (e.g. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-titanium-power-supply-review https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-tita...)

At the very least, Anandtech seems to rate Seasonic very highly: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-titanium-power-supply-review https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-tita...

  It's not just Anandtech. All reviewers have nothing but praise for Seasonic. They have the best reputation in the industry at the moment and all their PSUs have a 10 year warranty to back it up. Jonnyguru's last Seasonic review: https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/07/03/seasonic-prime-ultra-750-titanium-power-supply/6/ https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/07/03/seasonic-prime-ult... Literally nothing in the bad & mediocre summary sections, and with nothing but recommendations for the entire series: > Our look at the PRIME Ultra Titanium series has now at last come to a conclusion. We can now definitively say there’s not a bad performer in the bunch, and while all do have some very minor drawbacks I can’t see any reason not to recommend any of them.

    They actually have 12 year warranty at least for the PRIME TX ones.

You'd be surprised to hear that part from their own brand (which is excellent) many other top tier power supplies from the best brands are actually made by Seasonic.
