New build PSU help

[beachBOYken]

Hello

I’m trying to decide what psu you to get for my new build. I was going to get an Asus TUF gold 850w , but I’ve been told getting 1000w psu covers me for future upgrades, which makes sense, but I’m not planning to change anything anytime soon.

This is my rough spec

Ryzen 7800x3d
4070ti super 16gb
64gb ram
MSI x670e Tomahawk

If I don’t need 1000w, would the asus 850w TUF be ideal?, maybe some other make? Trying to keep within a budget but don’t want to cheap out on the psu either.

Thanks

That PSU would be fine, as would a good quality 750W.

I'd recommend buying a ATX 3.0 + standard as a minimum, what is your budget?

If that 850w TUF was In stock £90

I can stretch to about £130.

Looks good, would the 850w version be ok for my specs though?

850w would also be fine. I'd go 1000W regardless.

Thanks, what reason, just for future upgrades, future proofing?

Yes and optimal load for efficiency of a PSU is apparently 40-50% - going off what I've read - so you're probably there or there abouts with either choice.

The modern RMe models should be avoided, they recently changed their OEM for the line and the quality is a lot less than it was.

Shift if your case can handle it, or RMX are still worth looking at.

ah thanks for info, wasn't aware. Guess if you get a 2nd hand one then perhaps is a better idea than new (more cost savings)

They used to be grand semi-budget options but unfortunately that's changed.

If the asus TUF 1000w comes back in stock in the mean time, I will get that I think.

Are you actually planning to get the parts anytime soon? If not just place a preorder for the PSU then

Yeah I have some parts on order already, wanted to start my build in a few weeks time hopefully, but typically the PSU I wanted is out of stock everywhere.

a few weeks is a long time, have you dropped ocuk a note to ask when it'll be back in stock?

Not yet as already dropped them a question on another part on preorder, but Ive ordered a Phanteks AMP 850w, that seems like it will be fine.
