is what im looking at currently but since it has support for the new 5000 series and 6000 series from amd i might re-consider and drop more money into it than i had originally planned for. im aiming to get my power draw at below 100w a day if i can. if not then 300 w a day with minimalist use would be fine, i will be applying a heavy underclock and undervolt in order to arrive at the numbers i want and only play a certain amount of time per day, as per monitor i will be using a 50 in 4k display i currently have at 60hz using 7w an hr

the only issue i have with this build is it runs bronze so i wont be able to hammer down the undervolts and underclocks due to consistency

It will still work. The efficiency rating does not mean good quality psu at all. Your build also uses a worse psu this one is better.

psu has nothing to do with clock consistency. the corsair cx is just much better than the psu you picked.
