If you don't mind 230V input only (not full range APFC) and Taiwanese filtering caps in secondary side, SF 550W Silver is very good choice. Efficiency is almost at Gold 115V level.

You forgot to mention your video card. Any way, I'd recommend Seasonic. Top quality sht. Just chose proper wattage, you don't need excess

I don't care about LEDs and aesthetics I prefer efficiency

Choose your poison... the cheaper one. Both are good.

I have doubts about the quality of the fans they mount, in the sense that I don't know which one is the best. and it seems to me that superflower has more protection than seasonic

If you don't mind 230V input only (not full range APFC) and Taiwanese filtering caps in secondary side, SF 550W Silver is very good choice. Efficiency is almost at Gold 115V level.

apfc what is it?
sorry ignorance
for me the important thing is that I take between the two what is objectively better

no video card at the moment, maybe in the future if I find the offer, maybe an rx580 or new ones with ray tracing

amd ryzen 5 3400g is the apu ( cpu+igp)

Yeah definitely the seasonic great build quality here's what Jonny Guru has to say about it

The GOOD:

  • beyond mythic voltage stability
  • excellent ripple control
  • excellent build quality
  • ten year warranty
  • fully modular
  • switchable semi-fanless mode
The BAD:

  • not one dadgum thing
