Hey folks, I'm getting ready to upgrade my power supply and I'm trying to pick between these three models that are all priced the same here in my country:
* MSI MAG A750BN PCIe5 750W 80+ Bronze
* Seasonic B12 BC-750 750W 80+ Bronze
* Corsair CX750 750W 80+ Bronze (CP-9020279-NA)
My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 8500G, RTX 5060, 512GB NVMe, 16GB DDR5 (1x16), and a Gigabyte A620 motherboard, and I'm replacing a generic 650W PSU. I'm mainly focused on reliability and ensuring my components have good electrical protection. If you have other PSU suggestions, feel free to share, but keep in mind my options are pretty limited locally. What's your pick and why? Thanks!

What country are you in? In the US, the MSI is a great choice for the price, and it’s worth looking at options like that.
You really can't go wrong with Seasonic. They have a solid reputation for quality.
It's kind of a toss-up between them. If you can find a PSU with a 10-year warranty, it might be worth the extra cost. In the US, those start at around $90.
I thought about getting the MSI too, but went with a Cooler Master MWE 650 V3 instead. It’s a 650W, but it’s gold rated and has better power delivery. Plus, it was cheaper! Not as flashy though.
Honestly, they're all in the same tier. I would lean towards the Seasonic; it's known for reliability, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Why are you looking to upgrade your PSU? Have you had problems with your current one?
Have you checked if there are any gold-rated PSUs available? They can offer better efficiency, but I'm guessing they might be pricier?
Yeah, I've noticed some restarts while gaming when I really push the GPU. I suspect it might be due to power issues with my current PSU, and I have no info on its protection features.
