I'm planning to build a new PC using an AM5 platform with a 9700X CPU and a 9070XT GPU, along with a few SSDs and an AIO cooler. I was looking at the Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V3 ATX 3.1 Full Modular PSU (850W, 80+ Gold efficiency) and I want to know if it's reliable enough to last for at least the warranty period.

My dad and I both use the RM850x for our builds. My dad has a 9070XT, and I've got a 5080 Aorus Master. We've had great luck with it!
Generally, Corsair and Seasonic are your best bets for power supplies. They’re well known for their quality and durability.
Here's a link to a Power Supply Tier List that might help you choose: [Power Supply Tier List](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?gid=1973454078#). For reference, you might want to check out some solid options like the ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 650W or the Corsair RM750x SHIFT.
Make sure to check the PCIe power cables. The 9070XT typically requires 2 or even 3 8-pin PCIe connectors. Not all ATX3.1 PSUs guarantee enough of those, so that's something to keep an eye on.
When it comes to power supplies, it's really important not to skimp on quality. I’d recommend going with something from Corsair, like the RM850, which is really reliable and offers great performance.
