Seasonic Focus GX 850 80+ GOLD PSU

This PSU will be to power the below:

MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI
RYZEN 5 5600X
16GB G.SKILL CL14 3200mhz
RTX 3070 (Eventually 3080).

I've been told many times that Seasonic are a great brand to go for.. This particular PSU seems to get good online reviews and expert reviews..

Price wise it's about £119..

Would this be a decent purchase for me?

Absolutely. Buy with confidence.

Excellent. Purchased.. Now to attempt to buy the lian-li-pc-o11-dynamic-midi-tower-black-window case.. If only overclockers checkout system was working..

Just be aware that very undynamic case has serious CPU cooler size limitations courtesy of its super space inefficient "different for the sake of different" marketing BS design.

I watched a video on this.. Do you remember what radiator/fan size fits this case?

Scythes are the biggest compact enough to fit into that 155m.
Though RGB models have few millimeters of plasticky cap on them rising height over that.

I cant source this PSU anywhere at the moment for a new build.
It Really sucks if your trying to build a new machine at the moment for parts

Had this on order now for a good week or so. Unfortunately the place I've purchased from had the 29th as the due date but they have not received from supplier yet (delayed).. So who knows when I'll get it..

It's fine though as OC also have only a pre-order option on a case I've ordered from them which is due to be in stock on 14th Jan.. So not like I can rush into building my new pc yet anyway.

Spoke to company I've pre-ordered this PSU from.. It was due in stock on 29th December but they have told me they're having issues with stock getting across the boarders.. Wonder if this is the case for a lot of the pc components in high demand right now.

Anyone else ordered this same PSU and still waiting?
