We have to know your rig before we can answer a question about it, but pretty much just base yourself on the PSU recommended list above. 

Personally, I'm using this one: https://www.techspot.com/products/power-supplies/seasonic-snow-silent-1050w.121376/

Probably either the Bitfenix Whisper M or be quiet! Straight Power 11 depending on where you live. 

 

Corsair ax1600i too, but I'm thinking of the consumer side here.

If you want the best quality, I'd say the Cooler Master Masterwatt Maker 1200W MIJ. It costs $1000. 

But does it have wapanese caps?

No, real Japanese as its made in Japan ;)

So nothing made in China inside.

 

@SomethingIGuess

You need to be more specific.

We need to know what is to be powered.

We need to know the budget.

And other stuff as well. Like where you are, what's available.

In some Countrys there is most of the stuff we recommend not available.

As much detail as you can provide about the system specs, but at the least need to know which CPU and GPU.

CPU, Graphics Card.

Is it a prebuilt System from DELL, HP, Lenovo?
Is it a normal ATX System??

 

Without those Infos we can't say anything.

OS doesn't say much. 

If you are still in planning stage, what will you use the PC for? What's your budget and location?

With that cooler you will be able to push the CPU overclock and still stay rather quiet

@SomethingIGuess Is it for this system in this other thread you were looking at building?


Might be best to continue the discussion in that thread where it has the part list for the computers you are considering, as it seems you're still adjusting the parts you plan on using. Though at a cursory glance at the most recent parts list you posted in that thread, I would say a good quality 550W PSU, maybe something like a Corsair RM550x would be a suitable pick for your build & budget.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

We need to know what kind of CPU/Processor you have in mind -- they can range from ~35W...all the way up to 140W+ 

What video card / GPU you have in mind, and how many -- depending on the card(s), they can range from ...50W to 300W EACH

What motherboard you are using or have in mind?

How many storage drives you want/need?

 

We can be recommending a power supply from 300W, all the way up to a 1600W.

It would be pointless to recommend a $400 1200W power supply for a system that will need less than 400W.

 

Your question is to vague...like...

"I want a new car?"

"Do you want a truck for work? SUV? Sports car? AWD?"
