New PSU needed.

Hi

I'm donating my Corsair RM1000 (it's over 11 years old) to my daughters system. Total over kill for what I'm building her.

My system is in my signature. I'm looking for another 1000w PSU. And for future AM5 & GPU upgrade.

What do you recommend, budget about £150.

Are you looking for 3x independent PCI-E 8-pin and 2x EPS 12v?

Oh my signature isn't showing on my phone.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D / Corsair 32GB DDR4 Vengeance PRO 3600MHz / MSI B570 TOMOHAWK MAX / Saphire 7900 XTX Pulse / FiiO FT1 / Sound Blaster GC7 / ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO / Gigabyte M32U 4K

Currently I use 3 x 9 pins. I think I'm going to stick with AMD GPUs. I'm guessing the EPS are the Nvidia GPU power connectors.

I hope that helps.

The 8-pin EPS12v are for the motherboard (near the CPU). The reason I'm asking is because most PSUs share the PCI-E/EPS12v ports and if you need 5, that can actually be tricky with ATX 3.x PSUs.

Montech Century II 1050 can be had for £100, 1200W £120. Both have 5xCPU/PCIE.

The MSI X570 M/B has a CPU 8 pin and 4 pin connectors. Currently the RM1000 has just 1 4+4 (8 pin).
