Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a power supply for my new build, which includes a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, an RTX 5070 ti OC, 64 GB of Patriot RAM, a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120, and a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX v2 motherboard. I'm looking for something that can handle these specs well without breaking the bank. A modular power supply would be great too. Any recommendations? Thanks and have a great day!

For your build, I recommend the SeaSonic Focus GX V4 ATX 3 (2024) 1000W fully modular power supply. It’s a bit of overkill, but it gives you room for future upgrades, and SeaSonic is a trusted brand.
I like the Corsair RMx series myself, but the suggestions of Seasonic, Vetroo, and Montech are solid too. Just make sure you stick to about 750W to 850W unless you're planning to immediately upgrade to next-gen GPUs.
Have you considered the Be Quiet Straight Power 12? It’s modular and 80 Plus Platinum certified. I’m using the 1000W version with an RTX 5070 Ti and an i7-14700K, and it's working flawlessly!
Check out PCPartPicker! You can filter for power supplies with 850W or more and modular options, then just sort by price to find a good deal. Aim for reputable brands that are highly rated.
I totally agree! I've used this method myself. Personally, I've found Seasonic power supplies to be super reliable. Thermalright also has good options, so consider those.
I don't see the point in going overkill with PSUs. Since you have a 5070 ti, you should just get what meets your current needs unless there's an imminent plan to upgrade.
