Hi there am looking for a bit help on choosing the Right psu for my white build . There’s that many out there and don’t want to buy a cheap make for my new build and for it to blow and damage it. My specs on build are .cpu Ryzen 7 9800x3d . Gpu Radeon 9070xt . Memory DDR 5 32 gig 6000mhz . Mother board Gigabyte B850 ice . Seen this one below but unsure still but was thinking Corsair are msi 1000w. are other good brands my Budget is about £160 thanks for any help on this

CORSAIR RM1000e (2025) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply with 12V-2x6 Cable – ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Compliant, Cybenetics Gold Efficiency, 105°C-Rated Capacitors, Modern Standby Mode – White ***No Competitor Mentions***​

Generally speaking, you can guess how reliable a model is likely to be simply by looking at warranty length. Or you can l at the psu tier list on the ltt forums for some guidance.
That corsair one is most likely fine, iirc the RM line is pretty good.
 
The 2025 RMe series are not as good as the units they replaaced and have a shorter warranty of only seven years instead of 10 years previously. I wouldn't touch the new Corsair RMx series either as there have been quite a few failures of these new units.

The Superflower Leadex III Gold 1000w is actually cheaper than the RM1000e and is a better psu with a 10 year warranty.

The RMe is a step down from most of the 10-year PSUs and I'd say they rarely sell it cheap enough.

For your budget, I would look at Antec's HCG Pro, which is like Seasonic's Vertex, but minus 2 year of warranty.

Is that still maintained? I've been using SPL's PSU tier list lately.

Which are your main choices?

You can find reviews for most models on one of: TechPowerUp, THG, hwbusters and anandtech.

I'd recommend checking SPL's tier list, and/or LTT's suggested above.

Oh, I dont know, I haven't bought a PSU in many years so assumed it was still there.

Yeah, it is still there, but I get the impression it isn't updated anymore.
 
What about this version what’s people’s thoughts.

CORSAIR RM1000x SHIFT Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - 80 PLUS Gold - ATX 3.0 - PCIe 5.0 - Zero RPM - Modular Side £155 Amazon​

 
Corsair has a great warranty as I had to use it on my five years old rm850x.
You can use a online psu calculator to see the psu power you need.
