I'm looking for a reliable power supply for a system using an RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7 5800X3D. My budget is around £100, although I can go slightly higher if it's worthwhile. What models or specifications should I look for?

I’d aim for at least an 850W 80 Plus Gold unit from a reputable manufacturer. Pricing varies by country, but spending a little more on the PSU is worthwhile for a high-end graphics card.
The Montech Titan Gold 850W looks like a strong option for this budget. It’s an A+ rated, fully modular 850W unit and appears to be available for around £80.
I wouldn’t cut costs too aggressively with an RTX 5080. Check a reliable PSU tier list and choose an A or A+ rated model with Gold or better efficiency that fits your case. £100 may be a little tight, so going slightly over budget could be sensible.
That makes sense. If I need to spend more, what price range would you consider reasonable?
Thanks for the advice! I’ll look into some 850W Gold-rated options.
