I'm in the process of rebuilding my PC and need a new power supply unit (PSU). I've narrowed it down to three options that fit my budget: the Asus Prime 750W 80 PLUS Gold, the Antec GSK 750W 80 PLUS Gold, and the Xigmatek Fury GD 850W 80+ Gold. All three are rated B+ tier. I'm looking for advice on whether one of these is better than the others, or if there are any compelling reasons to choose one over the rest. Since I've had issues with PSUs in the past, I want to make sure I make the right decision. My current setup includes an R3 4100 and an RX 580, but I'm planning on upgrading next year, which is why I'm leaning towards a higher wattage PSU.

Generally, anything from a reputable brand should work well. I've had a Corsair CX750 and an EVGA Supernova 650W, both 80+ Gold, for years without any problems. There’s usually no noticeable difference in regular usage.
You might want to check out the XPG Core Reactor II Modular PSU. It’s fully modular, has a 10-year warranty, and is cheaper than the three you mentioned. It's got an A+ rating, which sounds solid!
If they’re all rated similarly and fall in the B+ tier, just go with whichever one is the cheapest. They should all perform pretty similarly in normal conditions.
That’s interesting, but where is it rated A+? I looked on the tier list I’m using, and it doesn’t seem to be there. Just want to make sure before I buy anything.
