Hey there! I'm dealing with some frustrating crashes and restarts on my PC while gaming. After running a bunch of tests, it looks like my power supply might be the culprit. I think it's a lower-tier PSU (Segotep 750w) that I got back in 2020. It's been somewhat stable after dialing down my resolution to 1080p and capping GPU power to 80%, but I know that can't be a long-term fix. I upgraded my GPU to a PNY 5060ti 16GB and my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800x last year, and now I'm looking to upgrade my PSU too. Ideally, I'd like something around 850w, and I'm hoping to keep it under $150 USD, preferably in the $100-130 range. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!

Don't skimp on quality! The Seasonic Focus GX-850 is a solid choice and is available on Amazon for around $140. Alternatively, anything by SuperFlower is also known for good quality.
You should definitely consider the Asrock SL-850g, which retails for about $90. It’s rated gold and performs really well in tests, often scoring A or A+ in reliability lists.
I recommend checking out the SAMA G1000, which you can find for about $90. It offers fantastic value! If you're open to spending a bit more, the Montech Century II 1050w is a great option for $100.
Are there any higher quality options at 850w you’d suggest, even if they’re on the higher end of my budget? I was looking into the Corsair RM850x, but it's pushing my $150 limit.
I'll take a look at that, thanks for the suggestion!
