help Struggling to find a decent PSU at a relatively low price (About $150 - $170 AUD)

[miyakolover23]

I cant wrap my head around what PSU i should get for my new upcoming build (RTX 5080 + 9800x3d). Right now one of my options are the MSI MAG A850GL at $157.77 AUD. I'm also leaning towards the Lian Li Edge 850W 80+ GOLD at $179. Are these good PSU's and are they reliable? If not then i would love some recommendations. I live in Australia if that helps. Thanks!

Superflower Leadex III 750W is a SOLID choice, and has been put through the LABS gauntlet.

The 850w should be basically the same unit, just very slightly higher power rating.

Lian Li Edge is useful in a cube housing with the PSU on the side. If you have a case with bottom PSU mount and a PSU shroud it's hard to put the cables in.

 

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/dtHqqs/cougar-gex-x2-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-gex-x2-850 is a better unit and a bit cheaper than the MSI A-GL. The MSI is extremely loud. Here's a review of the Cougar https://hwbusters.com/psus/cougar-gex-x2-850w-psu-review/

I'll be using the o11 vision so the Edge is useful for me. Although with your suggestion i cant seem to find any reliable reviews besides the ZTT tier list, ranked at B+. It does look promising though so i may consider it. Thanks!

Edit: I just found out that the RM850x SHIFT from corsair is at $179 and does fit in the case i am using (o11 vision). Thanks for all the suggestions though!
