PSU recommendation/adivice/opinion

DND

Hello guys I need some recommendations or advice regarding what PSU would be good. I'm planning to upgrade my gpu which is a gtx 1080 to something along the lines of a rtx 3080/3080ti or  RX 6800XT/7800XT. As of now I have 2 options that I'm looking into which are the MSI MPG A1000G ATX 3.0 or the NZXT C1200 Gold 1200W ATX 3.0. Tho i don't know which one is better they are pretty similarly priced here in my country, the prices are 189$ for the MSI and 199$ for the NZXT one. What do you guys think is the better option between these two? Or if you have any recommendations please do give some. Thanks in advance.

Edit:
My full pc specs is in my signature if it is needed.

Same platform, same quality. The NZXT is more silent.

 

GF1 PE is old ATX2.4 certified, GF A3 is ATX3.0 but damn loud and way lower quality than the C1200.

Thanks for the recommendation I'll look into it if that specific model/brand is available here in my country. May I ask if the MSI or NZXT one are not good?

So either of the two are good?

edit:
if they are not can you recommend some other models/brands that would be better for the same price point.

not that they're not good. They're overpriced

The MSI is the best out of the two

How do you come to the conclusion the MSI is better?

Of the MSI and NZXT? Get the NZXT if the price is right. It outperforms almost any 1200w PSU https://hwbusters.com/psus/thermaltake-toughpower-pf3-1200w-psu-review/10/

Just my point of view, I like msi products but the nzxt seems to be better after taking a glance to the cultists tier list. I'm not a power supply nerd so I wouldn't know, bet you know more than me anyways

I would say that the be quiet 850w 80+ bronze would be a good amount of power for this build.

What exact model? System Power 10 is terrible.

You could go for https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/fsp-hydro-g-pro-atx30-pcie50-1000w-gen5-fully-modular-80-gold-power-supply-with-atx-12v-cpu-power-connector-for-rtx-40-series-cards-rtx-4090-4080-i3513274718.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.1.28e82423Xc1HBo or https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/fsp-hydro-g-pro-850w-80-gold-atx30pcie50-fully-modular-power-supply-units-hg2-850-gen5-i1690882675.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.6.28e82423Xc1HBo . They're very decent and a lot cheaper than the MSI and NZXT.

Thank you for taking the time on searching in our local websites, I appreciate it a lot. I did see this FSP one but I thought they are not that good but if they are on the same league as the MSI and NZXT I may just go with the FSP ones.

FSP is okay, though some people say their great. Evga currently uses them for their G7 PSU series.
