I'm in the process of building a new PC and I'm stuck on which power supply unit (PSU) to choose. I was considering the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W, but I've seen some negative feedback about it. Is it really that bad? Also, will 850W be sufficient for my setup? In my country, many brands like Seasonic aren't available, but I can find ASUS, MSI, and Corsair easily. If there are other brands you think I should look into, I'm open to researching their availability. Here are my specs: Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, MSI MB X670E GAMING PLUS WIFI AM5 motherboard, 32 GB 6000 MHz CL30 RAM, 1x Samsung 980 1TB SSD, 1x Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD, Arctic Liquid Freezer III - 360 A-RGB AIO, and a total of 4 NZXT fans (not counting the liquid cooling). Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

I really wish I had bought a 1000W PSU from the get-go. I started with a 450W Corsair Gold series and now I’m using the RM1000x. It’s priced around $130 and totally worth it for future upgrades!
I looked for the RM1000x, but it’s out of stock everywhere! Do you think the MSI MPG A1000G or ASUS TUF GAMING 1000G might work? They're too pricey for me, and I’m worried if 850W will cut it.
