Hey everyone! I recently got an iBuyPower Y40 equipped with an RTX 5080 and a Ryzen 7900x. I've heard that the power supply can be a concern and may need replacement sooner rather than later. After a little scare, I've decided to swap my current 850w PSU for a 1000w one. I'm not sure which brands are reliable and what specific types will work well with my setup. Can anyone suggest a good mid to high-tier PSU?

Make sure you're aware that while wattage is important, the brands that come with pre-built systems sometimes use lower quality supplies. I've had good luck with Corsair and I've heard great things about be quiet! for reliability.
The Montech Century II is a solid pick. It's one of the best budget 1000w options out there. I’ve got one myself, and it’s been great! Just double-check compatibility, but with your new parts, you should be all set.
When choosing a PSU, refer to databases for detailed reviews. Just keep an eye out for whether the PSU has a native 12vhp cable; that’s often a requirement for newer GPUs.
