Very little information about the Mars Gaming PSU's.  Thats a red flag in my opinion!  The MSI MPG A850G PCIE however is a very solid PSU with 10 year warranty.

I see 2 units from MarsGaming with 10 year warranty so thats at least something ( Both Silver, not Gold 80 Rated.. This is efficiency and not a sign of reliability but you know.. Why aren't they Gold? ), but I would go with something that is known and tested.

I'd never heard of this brand until recently. They aren't on any tier list, and the only review I can find of any of their units is a single one on YouTube of a 550W model from a couple years ago. 

 

I must say that while it could be coincidence, the name "Mars Gaming" is close enough to Aresgame (which are known as absolute dogshit) to give me pause. 

 

Edit: misunderstood the part about 150 Euros

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

For me... I don't think it is worth the risk... 

 

I mean, if the PSU shits the bed, they may honour the warranty, they may not, who knows. But what if it kills your motherboard or GPU? You would be very much out of pocket for something. Where you can spend the money on a known good model from a well-known brand and rest easy that you have what is at least a decently supported GPU. 

 

For me, I'm running highly respected EVGA PSUs that are getting a little old now (5 years or so) and feel confident that they will last at least a few more years if not significantly longer. (That's not to say EVGA is the only good brand) But when you have a component that can literally shit the bed and kill your other much more expensive parts I personally feel it is the last place you should be looking for cost savings

Mars Gaming is trash. 10 year warranty on a PSU that does not have a full range input is rare. 708w @12v on a 750w Silver rated PSU seems like a group regulated unit.

If you're in Spain: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/phVmP6/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-tt-premium-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0850fnfagu-4 is as good as the MSI A-G PCI-e5.0 for a lower price.

how about this one https://www.pccomponentes.com/seasonic-focus-gx-850-850w-80-plus-gold-modular?campaigntype=eshopping&campaignchannel=shopping&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA1fqrBhA1EiwAMU5m_6pau4Dmd4mBJE8EhspnZJq8ogKpMa3sFM15vEwLm8VwAC8Iuetp4RoC2MgQAvD_BwE

That's not ATX3.0 and Seasonic cut corners on quality. The Thermaltake GF3 is a better unit and only €10 more expensive. And if you're interested in a non ATX3.0 unit https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/YYZ9TW/nzxt-c850-2022-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-pa-8g1bb-us is better than the Seasonic for a lot less money. The same with https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/CFbCmG/adata-xpg-core-reactor-850-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactor850g-bkcus

You can get a Shift for €140 too if it fits your case https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/MgYmP6/corsair-rm850x-shift-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-side-interface-atx-power-supply-cp-9020252-na

I don't really know what atx 3.0 is actually for

For the latest and upcoming GPUs. ATX3.0 can handle powerspikes a lot better and the requirements for protections increased also.

This is the rmx I'm thinking about 

That's the 2021 model with maglev fan. Far from the best quality and pretty loud. Better get the RM850x Shift I recommanded earlier or the GF3 or NZXT C850 Gold V2.

No, the case has to be at least 210mm wide.

I don't know the difference between the 2

Of the NZXT C850 Gold? The V1 is made by Seasonic with the known Seasonic shortcomings. The V2 is made by CWT and is better on any aspect.
