I'm on the hunt for a solid power supply unit (PSU) around $100. My current options include: be quiet! Pure Power 13M 750W priced at $103, Montech Century II 1050W with a 10-year warranty for $105, NZXT C850 Gold (also with a 10-year warranty), Corsair RM750e (white version with a 7-year warranty for $110), and the Thermaltake Toughpower GT 750W which is $76 with a 5-year warranty. I'm planning to pair it with a Ryzen 5 9600X and an RX 6600 XT. I know all these options might be overkill, but I want room for future upgrades without needing a new PSU. I would also prefer a white PSU. Any suggestions on which one of these is the best pick or can you help me find another good option?

Check out the MSI MAG A850GL. It's fully modular, 850W, and certified 80+ Gold. The price is around $99.99 on Amazon, which fits your budget perfectly! Just a note though, I've heard some users complain about its fan being a bit noisy, which is why I haven't tried it yet.
I'd recommend either the Montech Century II or the be quiet! Pure Power. Both are solid choices. Just a heads up about Montech though; they’re newer, so I have a little concern about their longevity as a company.
Yeah, I feel you on that! I'd love to go with Montech too, but I'm just as worried about how stable they’ll be in the long run.
For a more proven pick, I'd suggest going with the Corsair RM750e. It’s pretty reliable, and the white version looks great! It's a little over your budget at $109, but you might consider it for the quality.
You might also like the Thermaltake Toughpower GT 750W if you want to save some bucks! It’s priced nice at $76 and has decent specs.
Good call! I’ve been put off by some noisy fans as well, definitely something to keep in mind.
