Hey everyone! I'm trying to get my hands on an 850 to 1000W PSU for my build. I recently found some used 3080ti miner GPUs and I'm thinking of using one in my setup (it's been used non-stop for about 1.5-2 years and is now just sitting as e-waste). Check out my build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VGxKrM. I probably won't need a full 1000 watts, but I'm looking to get a PSU that can last me at least the next decade. I'm in Eastern EU, so I'm hoping to find something reasonably priced. I'm also willing to spend a little more if that means better overcurrent protection and surge protection. Thanks a lot!

If you’re willing to go a bit higher on power, consider looking into brands like Corsair or EVGA as well. They have some amazing PSUs that might fit your criteria. Just make sure to check the reviews for reliability and power management features.
Just be careful with the price; sometimes going for the 'best' can break the bank!
You might want to check out the Thermaltake Toughpower 850W. It's a solid choice and should handle your needs for the GPUs nicely. It’s modular and has 80 Plus certification, so good efficiency without the extra weight. Plus, it’s priced pretty well! Here’s a link for more info: [Amazon Link](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Thermaltake-Toughpower-850W-Modular-80Plus/dp/B0DCZJSJ7Z).
Thanks for the recommendation! I’d like to know if it has a longer warranty, though. And how does it handle power overdraw? I’ve heard some NVIDIA cards can have issues with that.
I think it’s a good PSU, but definitely check if the warranty meets your needs!
Yeah, I've seen good reviews on those brands. They might be a bit pricier, but they're worth it in the long run!
