The EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6 is the objective winner of this comparison, securing six category wins against the single victory held by the EVGA 500 BQ. The most impactful advantage for the SuperNOVA 1000 G6 is its superior connectivity, offering 300% more PCIe connectors than its counterpart. While the 500 BQ maintains a 76% advantage in MSRP, the G6 provides significantly higher capacity and hardware support for demanding system configurations.

Users building budget-oriented systems with minimal power requirements should choose the EVGA 500 BQ to take advantage of its lower MSRP.
