I'm in the market for a power supply around the $100 mark. Right now, I'm considering a few options: the be quiet! Pure Power 13M 750W ($103), Montech Century II 1050W (with a 10-year warranty for $105), NZXT C850 Gold (also 10-year warranty), Corsair RM750e (white, 7-year warranty at $110), and the Thermaltake Toughpower GT 750W Snow (5-year warranty for just $76). I'll be using it with a Ryzen 5 9600X and an RX 6900 XT, and I know I'm going a bit overkill, but I want the flexibility to upgrade later without needing a new PSU. I'm leaning towards a white PSU if possible. Any recommendations on which of these might be the best choice, or can you suggest another solid PSU?

If you're looking for safety and reliability, a Corsair RM would be your best bet. The RM750e is a solid choice, and I see it has a white version going for about $109.
I'd suggest looking at the Montech Century II or the be quiet! Pure Power. They both have great reliability and the warranty on the Montech is pretty appealing, though it’s uncertain how the company will hold up long-term. But that's a risk with any brand!
Yeah, Montech looks solid, but I share that worry. It's tough to predict which companies will last.
Check out this MSI MAG A850GL. It’s fully modular, 850W, and costs about $99.99. Just keep in mind I've heard some reports of a loud fan, which is why I’ve hesitated to buy it myself.
I've read the same thing about the fan noise! That’s the only reason I’ve shied away from it.
Exactly, I was eyeing the Corsair RM750e too. It’s a great PSU, just a bit above budget.
