I'm currently using an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with an Asus ROG Strix RX 6800, and I'm looking to buy a new power supply since my old one has developed fan issues. I'm considering a few options and would love some input on which one might be best. Here are the models I'm looking at:
1. DeepCool PN750M 750W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular Power Supply
2. MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750W 80 Plus Gold Full Modular Power Supply
3. NZXT C750 80 Plus Gold Full Modular 750 Watt Power Supply
4. Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB PLUS 850W 80 Plus Gold TT Premium Edition Power Supply

If you want something for the long haul, I'd suggest going for a 1000W gold-rated PSU. They're better suited for gaming PCs with newer, more power-hungry graphics cards. I've been using an EVGA 1300W G2 for 11 years, and it still performs flawlessly!
Check out the Montech Century II 850W; it's 80 Gold certified and fully modular. That could be a good option too!
I’d recommend the NZXT PSU since it’s a rebranded Seasonic model, which is known for their quality. If it’s available, that’s definitely the way to go!
How many PCIe cables does it come with? I need two separate (6+2) connectors for my RX 6800.
Only the C series Gold V1 models and the E series are made by Seasonic; the others use different manufacturers. But NZXT PSUs are generally still rated highly, so it's a solid choice!
Totally agree! A higher wattage can future-proof your setup, especially with advances in hardware.
