Hello, I am planning to slightly increase the overclocking and need to confirm the best PSU option. I was wondering which one would be more suitable, even though I want a small boost.

The Seasonic and the XFX share a similar design, though the XFX is produced by Seasonic. The main distinction lies in the Seasonic being semi-passive, allowing you to detach most non-essential cables. In contrast, the Seasonic features a more aggressive fan profile and can become noisy when under heavy load. The XFX is an excellent PSU, which I have personally used. The only drawback is that it is not modular and cable management isn't very straightforward. Overall, both are reliable choices, and either will work well even with overclocking.

I'm comfortable with either unit, but I recommend using the 650W units for additional headroom. Your configuration will require a minimum of 500W of power, so increasing that number would be beneficial if you intend to keep the PSU longer. For your build, consider upgrading the processor to the i5-7600K and the RAM to a DDR4-3200MHz version...?

Is the Seasonic 620W Bronze worth considering? Many users praise it for its value, but I’m unsure if it suits your project. Checking the link provided might help.

it's alright.
I don't like it too much, by now it's a pretty old design. but it's solid.
no competition for the 3 PSUs you've listed though
