    Or they can just go to some forum like LTT and ask for help, oh, wait ...

    You have this same tier list, anything up from tier B are modern, not necessarily LLC but if you're looking at Gold\Platinum unit chances are it is. In other words, don't worry about efficiency, it's not a way to choose PSU.
     
    See, if you plan to use Threadripper 3960X, it's power draw are about 300W on average, GTX1070 isn't exactly power hungry GPU but if we make some room for potential upgrade to say RTX2080 Ti which is 300W too, that's about 650-700W on average in the worst case scenario (power draw wise), likely no more than 550W in usual usage patterns. CM V850 seems a bit loud but it's more expensive at that so i don't see the point in it, if you want multirail then go for Bitfenix Whisper \ Enermax Revolution DF but Corsair RMx \ Seasonic Focus GX \ Phanteks AMP (nevermind, they're not so quiet too) would be good too.
     
    @LukeSavenije Where Seasonic PRIME Gold GD & GX stand for in the tier list ? Or there's not enough data on them ?

    AFAIK, nothing really uses 3.3V rail nowadays where slightly suboptimal transient response would matter. It's mostly RAM which isn't generating much transients and on some boards (high-end presumably) it's actually replaced by 5V rail.
    All you need is a good 750W PSU then.
    PSU noise (if we're talking about that) doesn't depends on the power rating of PSU really, 1200W PSU and 750W PSU on the similarly performing platforms will have the same thermals and therefore noise with the same load level.

    Because it's multirail, it's not exactly a requirement but good to have, see it as yet another protection feature.
    Any relatively modern PSU with independent regulation topology would be the same here. There was a new power saving standard released recently (EpS 2.92 IIRC) but since there's just a handful of lineups that support it yet you shouldn't really choose a PSU based on it's support.
    What's your specs ?

    because AX is a single rail, based off the Seasonic Prime platform
     
    because of it being a delta GM, just as the antec
     
    not at this moment, but atx 2.52 has recently been introduced with a higher requirement for sleep states, so we might see something from that soon
