Planning on upgrading my rig completely relatively soon (depending on stock) to hopefully a ryzen 5600x and either rtx 3000 series or AMD 6000 series GPU and have realised my 600W power supply won't be enough even if it wasn't 7 years old.
As supply is likely not to be getting better any time soon I'm looking at a new PSU now just so I can make sure I get a good one for when I eventually get the new hardware.
Orginally was going for 850W but looking at availability and price it looks like it may even be worth going for 1000W due to efficiency benefits of not having a PSU under max load and generally being a more reliable unit. Currently the 850W ones on my eye that are in stock are
Corsair 850W TXM Gold ~ £110
Corsair 850W RM (2019) ~£130
EVGA 850W GQ ~ £115
but I have also seen some corsair 1000W PSUs for around £160. These being the RMx and HX Platinum.
Is the benefit of these PSUs worth the £30-40 difference when considering the hardware it is supplying?
