It'll all be for nothing if it isn't rated well on the efficiency certification. What's it rated at?

My Build (5800X3D, RTX 3070)

 

disclaimer: i probably don't know what I'm talking about but I try to give the best advice I can

BFGs (only?) 1200w unit is rated as 80+ standard when it was certified 11 and a half years ago.

The efficiency doesn't really matter that much, but being more than a decade old is a concern.
