You upgrading gpu any time soon? A 500W will run your 660ti, but this 750W will be more future-proof ▷ Seasonic B12 BC-750 750W 80+ Bronze Power sup… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)

Don't get lured in just because it has a Seasonic badge on it. From what I can gather from various websites it's not a Seasonic built PSU, it's built by Helly Technology for Seasonic and is full of cheap and nasty components so I would avoid that like the plague.

That's another cheapo not made by Seasonic along with S12 III.

Even price is expensive for basic warranty and lack of quality.
Only £20 more gets lot higher quality PSU with doubled length warranty:
Phanteks AMP 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £87.95

Seasonic made all original Corsair PSUs.
Over time Corsair moved to sourcing their PSUs from also others and not sure if Seasonic makes any current Corsair.

And Seasonic is now doing exactly what Corsair, BeQuiet, Coolermaster etc. have done for years by putting brand sticker into very cheap PSUs.
