SeaSonic S12III 650W for a midrange build

[MatteRB26]

So I'm building a PC for a friend with a current budget of £700 (they can stretch if needed and if it'll be worth it). They've gotten into blogging/vlogging and managed to get a pretty decent following - people and companies - and need a new pc for their photo editing and some basic video editing. I've thrown together a quick list that I'll be using as a guide throughout the upcoming deals.

One area I'm not really hot on is PSUs. I've currently thrown in a reasonably priced Seasonic S12III 650W to power a R5 3600, 16gb ram and a GTX 1050Ti. I see a lot of good things about Seasonic but I personally have had a Corsair for 8 years.

The reason I picked the Seasonic was the price - but I don't want to cheap out on the PSU if it's not worth it. I've seen good things about Seasonic but it seems a little _too_ cheap to be as reliable as people say, just looking for opinions/advisories.

Thanks for the info, I'm glad I posted - brand awareness is exactly why I considered it as I've heard great things but never used them myself.

I've been using a Corsair TX650 for my pc for 8 years now so I may stick with what I know and grab another Corsair TX. There's also potential for having to power a 5600X or 3700/3800X depending on prices in the coming prices.

Do you think 550W would be enough for the specs? I'm looking at 650W but I imagine 550W should be enough for Ryzen & 1050Ti..?

I highly doubt the pc will ever have an RTX 3000 or big Navi, they won't be gaming at all. The only reason I'm going for a 1050Ti is to get some GPU acceleration for a decent price (and to get a decent Ryzen)
