I'm building a new PC and I'm planning to use a 5070 GPU along with a 9700X processor. I'm debating whether a 750W power supply unit (PSU) is sufficient, or if I should upgrade to 850W to ensure it's future-proof. I've been searching for A-tier 850W PSUs, but I'm finding it challenging to locate one that is affordable—ideally under $125. I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Honestly, considering the kind of components you're using, a 750W PSU should handle everything just fine. You could even run your system with a little headroom to spare. Just make sure it has the appropriate PCI-E/12v connectors.
If you're in the US, the Montech Century 2 850W is a solid choice at around $90, rated A-. If you want an A-tier option, the 1050W is A-rated and priced at about $110. Totally worth looking into!
Do you think 750W will still be okay if I decide to upgrade my parts a few years down the line?
