EVGA 750W G3 Supernova or NZXT E850 850W?

F.E.A.R.

Which PSU should I buy? I really wanted to buy the EVGA Supernova 750 G3 80 Plus, but the guys at the PC store also recommended me the NZXT E850 Digital PSU with digital monitoring? I really don't mind the extra watts, since I'm upgrading slowly and next year I want to buy an X570 motherboard, a ryzen 3900x and a custom radeon graphics card and a powerful hard drive and ssd. Should I go with either PSU or one is better than the other? I've already bought mt CM H500, CM MasterAir620P, CM MasterFan Pro 120mm, for now all it's left is the PSU.

What is the price difference between the two?

 

Honestly, the voltage and current monitoring thing isn't necessary.

I can see it being useful when first putting together the system, overclocking components, troubleshooting (?).

...But you aren't going to be keeping a constant eye on it once the PC is fully up and running.

 

Either 750W or 850W will be enough for a Ryzen 3900X and a single GPU -- it will even be plenty for a dual GPU set-up.

PSU will only supply as much power the PC requires; if your system pulls 500W, it's will be 500W...whether it is a 550W, 750W, 850W, or 1200W PSU.

Hardly any modern pc will need more than 650watt.

A quality 500watt is better than a so so 850watt.

There's a really small price difference between the two, here in my country. The NZXT is 163.29€ while the EVGA 750 G3 is 158.96€. 

 

I really never was interested in the digital monitoring in the first place, because I don't have any use of it. The only thing I could do is check from time to time how much power does my PC pull.

 

Just like you say I'm not going to keep a constant eye on it. And I'm especially not an overclocker. 

 

I don't think I'm ready for such a thing as "dual GPU's". But I guess that the EVGA 750W G3 is enough.

The problem is, there aren't any good PSU's from 500-650W PSU's here where I live, there is one exceptionally and that's the EVGA 650W G3, but I think I'd rather get the 750W version.
