In need of a new PSU for 7900XTX/5800X3D

[Leychee]

Hi, I'm currently on a 700W PSU and I'd like to finally upgrade it.

I can't find the tier list anymore (am I blind?), so are any of these options any good?

 

- Corsair RM1000e

- Corsair RM1000x

- MSI MPG A1000G

- be quiet! Straight Power 11 1000W

 

Any PSU I should get instead of another? I'm looking at the options with next day delivery, as I'm having some crashes and I'd like to upgrade it asap.

 

Thank you!

The new PSU tier list has been moved from the forum

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

but it's the same list by the same people, updated and maintained.

Understood, thank you.

So I'm left with the RM1000e and the RM1000x, is there one that you'd recommend more than the other?

Both are good.

To be blunt, I'm one of those who'd rather pay the OEM directly because I believe that way you get better for the same price.

What I mean is, when paying 100€ to Seasonic you pay only Seasonic, but when you pay 100€ to Corsair both Corsair and Seaonic have to profit from it because Corsair doesn't make the PSU...

That's completely understandable. I checked some Seasonic PSUs, and unfortunately they're either not available or more expensive with non-Prime delivery. I'll keep that in mind for my future builds though.

 

I'll go for this one then, I assume it's the 2021 version?

I'm running the Straight Power 11 750w for a 5800X and 7900XT and that works just fine.

If you can get the 1000w version for a good price I'd pick that one again.

Found the RM1000x for a decent price, plus it'll give me some headroom if I want to overclock or upgrade later on. It's probably overkill right now but at least I'm sure I'll be good for a while.

 

A question is bugging me, is there a point in getting one of those "PCIe 5.0 ready" PSUs or is it just marketing? I'd rather not make a mistake now so I don't have to buy a new one when I eventually get a new GPU in a few years.

MSI MPG A1000G

This is the ATX3.0 version with 12+4 HPWR cable?

Yup, that's the one

I'd also look for seasonic and silverstone alternatives...

I can't find any Silverstone stuff here, and Seasonic doesn't have any 1000W in stock
