I'm building a new PC with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and a 5070 Ti, but I'm torn between three power supplies: 1) be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000W for 150 euros, 2) be quiet! Pure Power 12 1000W for 140 euros, and 3) MSI MAG A1000GLS PCIE5 for 130 euros. I'm looking for some advice on which one would be the best choice.

If noise is a concern for you, go with be quiet!. I've been using their products for years and they’re fantastic for building a silent PC. I just built a water-cooled rig with be quiet! fans, and the only noise I hear is from the pump. Totally worth it!
The be quiet! Power Zone 2 is solid for performance, but if you're just looking to save money, the MSI is a great alternative. You really can't go wrong with either of those.
I'd recommend going with the MSI. It's the cheapest option while still being high quality. Honestly, 1000W is probably overkill for your setup; even 750W would be sufficient if you're on a budget. But hey, if you're planning to keep the PC for a long time, going a bit higher on wattage can be a good idea!
Just go for the cheapest option if you don't have any specific preferences about looks or warranty. They should all work fine for your setup!
I get that you're thinking about the future! It's smart to plan for upgrades later, especially if you're in it for the long haul.
