My cousin has ordered a new build for my PC. Even though the Seasonic PX Platinum Focus+ 850 is good, I still have decided to get another PSU for my new build so that it can last for a long time.

I need suggestions for an 850w PSU to pick. This is the setup for my new build.

Motherboard - MSI B660 MAG Tomahawk Wifi D4 Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard
CPU - Intel i5-13600K
RAM - Ripjaw V Series 32GB DDR4
CPU Cooler - Deepcool AK620
GPU - MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDRR6

This build may not require 850w but I would still prefer getting 850w as future proofing incase I decide to get a better graphic card or if I would want to add another graphic card.

I thought of getting Seasonic Prime PX 850 Platinum as its got a low noise fan but my cousin suggested these from super flower and the focus gold from Seasonic.

I would like it to be like the one I have where the fan gives little to no noise.

Another solid option is this one:


I found this one that has a different labelling than the one you have sent. Is this one legit?


And also, while I understand that the first PSU I got from them was the VS650 yellow is a bad one..I can't help but get concerned if Corsair does make good PSUs because if they are selling low quality ones, it does make me a little worried.

Every PC I've ever built has had an EVGA PSU... and I've never had an issue.

Every company has cheap, rather low-end PSUs, that are intended to for office builds or basic entry-level builds. SeaSonic has their own mediocre budget PSUs that they don't even manufacture for themselves. It's not so much the current Corsair VS series being a bad set of GPUs as it is people using those in inappropriate systems.
