Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my dream PC and I've hit a snag when it comes to choosing a power supply unit (PSU). Here's what my setup looks like:
- ROG Crosshair Apex 870E
- Ryzen 9 9950 X3D
- ROG Astral 5090 OC
- Fury Beast 64 GB 6000 30 CL
- Samsung 9100 Pro 2 TB
- AIO cooler (to be determined)
I currently have a ROG Strix 1200 Platinum but I'm considering returning it for a CORSAIR HX1500i, which is on sale for €290 instead of €360. Do you think the CORSAIR is a good fit for my build, or should I go for the Seasonic Noctua that's priced at €500? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Honestly, just pick the one that you prefer! Both options are pretty solid and will work just fine with your build. It comes down to what you're comfortable spending and if you like the brand more. Good luck!
Honestly, you're overthinking this a bit. Either PSU will work great for your setup. Don't stress too much about it - you could even flip a coin to decide! Just enjoy the process and have fun with your build!
Hey, both PSUs are top-tier, so you won't go wrong with either. The Strix you have is already a strong performer. If you're looking to save some cash, stick with it! If you wanna go for the HX1500i for additional headroom and nice features, that could be worth it too!

Thanks for the quick advice!
