Question Opinions wanted on new PSU purchase ?

[MrBurton]

Hey everyone, I am having some problems with my PC where it keeps restarting on its own and I think its the power supply being damaged from common power outages and fluctuating voltages in my country.

There aren't many options available when it comes to power supplies either but I have found two options that seem reasonable.

1) CORSAIR RM750 CP-9020234-EU 80+ GOLD 750W
This one is listed at around £154

2) MSI MPG A650GF 80+ GOLD 650W
This one is listed at around £139

I am leaning more towards the Corsair one as its 100W more for around £15 more, though I would love some insight.

My PC specifications are as follows;

Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
CPU Cooler: MSI Mag CoreLiqiud 240R V2
RAM: 2 x PNY 8GBF1X08QFHH38-135-K DDR4-3200MHz CL16
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME M.2 1TB
HDD: ST1000VX005-2EZ102 (Seagate SkyHawk 1TB)
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 6650 XT
PSU: Cougar CMX 700W 80+ Bronze
Chassis: MSI Mag Forge 112R
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: Philips PHL 242E1GJ 144Hz

Both are decent and plenty for your system. Are there no ATX3.0 units available?

Apologies as I don't understand much about PSU's, is that a newer type of PSU build for ATX cases?

I haven't really been looking into that so I am not sure if it is available where I live, but I highly doubt it.

A simple guide to quality is the warranty. 7 years is good, 10 is better.

All other considerations aside, overprovisioning will allow the psu to loaf and run more quietly.

Yeah I can understand that. I have been checking a lot of the databases in Cybenetics and watching Gamer Nexus videos about power supplies.

Since I don't have many option available where I live and shipping is basically impossible because of embargos, I will most likely buy a power supply when on holiday abroad and bring it back with me in the suitcase 🤷‍♂️
