Hello,
I almost finished assembling my new PC, and only the PSU remains
-Ryzen 7 9800x3d cpu
-X870 tomahawk motherboard
-64gb ddr5 ram
-Noctua NH-D15 cooler
-RTX 5080 gpu
-Lian lee lancool 216 case
I have a big question that i kept researching for the past 6 hours or so, and i would like to receive some guidance
In my country, the only 2 decent options cost/performance and atx 3.1 regarding PSU are 1stPlayer NGDP 1000W atx 3.1 fully modular or BeQuiet Pure power 12 non-modular 1000w atx 3.1. Both of them cost around 140E.
The only alternatives for 1000w psu, from established brands like seasonic, corsair and so on are all in the 220E - 300E range with 15+days more for delivery.
Even tho i didnt hear before about 1st player , after a lot of research i found that this unit should be a solid one. Also found a good review on https://hwbusters.com/psus/1st-player-ngdp-1000w-psu-review/ and it also scores very high in the PSU database (since the review the suboptimal fan has been upgraded to a better one)
Both PSU are Gold rated, seems to be some issues with the pure power (Taiwanese capacitators instead of Japanese, a bit shorter and stiff cables, some reported cases of coil whine). On the 1st player I didn't find any issues reported, yet.
Now, both PSU offer 10y warranty, and i honestly dont plan to upgrade the PC in the next 4-5 years ( when most likely the PSU will be swapped for a bigger one anyway)
Should i pick the 1st Player PSU and have peace of mind that it will perform properly and not fry my components in case of a power outtage or whatever, or should i pick the non-modular Pure Power 12 and try my best to do a decent cable management, considering the case is rather big and allows for it?
At the moment i am inclined towards 1stPlayer PSU, but i would like to hear some more opinions about this
Thank you
