1) Seasonic focus gold+ 80 GX-750 modular

2) SEASONIC Prime SnowSilent 750W Titanium SSR-750TR

3) Im thinking for even gx 850 for future

Seasonic snowsilent is older psus i know but it has bigger vents 135mm vs 120mm of seasonic g750/g850,and silence is what i want,any thoughts?

My mashine is:

R5 3600x (just temporary,will replace as soon as ryzen 4000 comes)
Gskill trident neo 3600 ram
Adata 512gb pro
Ams radeon sapphire nitro plus 5700xt (just temporary will replace as soon as big navy comes or ampere depends of $)
Samsung 2k 144hz space monitor

Either is fine.
The wattage you need is primarily determined by the graphics card.
The strongest might need two 8 pin connectors that can be handled by a 600w psu.
Here is a handy chart:

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

I’d get an 850 watt if that’s your upgrade plan and you want it to last the 10 year warranty.

Right, I’m just using the information provided by seasonic based on the next gen NVidia cards and the new 12 pin connector which is recommended for 850watts
