Hi everyone, just a quick question...

For this build:
CPU - i5-7600k
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
GPU - Probably an AMD RX480 but possibly something a little bit more powerful(depends on prices around Christmas this year)
16Gb DDR4 3000MHz RAM
1TB HDD
240Gb SSD
MSI z270i mobo
Edit - *Bitfenix Prodigy mini ITX case*

Would I see any difference in performance, or limitations in OCing/bigger GPUs going with a 600W Be Quiet! PSU over a Corsair CX650M PSU? Only reason I am preferring the BeQuiet! is due to their good reputation for low volumes.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should have added the case on there too. The Prodigy struggles to take PSUs that are >160mm depth, especially if they are fully modular - a product of the cutouts in the PSU compartment- both of the PSUs I posted are semi-modular.

Is there any reason that I should avoid specifically either of the ones I suggested? I am happy to take suggestions however the priorities are sufficient wattage for future improvements, case compatibility and low volume operation.
 
I had looked at the Bitfenix ones and passed them by for some reason, although now I think we may be onto something. So just to clarify something, I am unlikely to experience any difference between, let's say the 550w bitfenix and the 650w bitfenix?

Also, thanks for the help! :)
