Hi,
I'm building a new PC from scratch and put together a tentative component list. I'm based in Mexico, so my access to parts and their respective prices is limied by that. I posted a build advice thread here already, but I want to specifically ask about the PSU. A user was kind enough to suggest I should purchase a 1200-1300W PSU rather than the 1000W I have below.
Looking into more details on PSUs, it's all rather overwhelming (ATX 3.0 vs 2.0, PCIe 5 vs 4, 12VHPWR native cables and the risk of melting, etc). I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of all this information, and particularly fear getting it wrong and running into the melting cable problem. I thought I might as well ask some advice on this front to try and process everything before making a decision.
Here's my current list:

I'm not having much luck finding ATX 3.0, PCIe 5 PSUs on Amazon (MX) right now, but maybe I'm just not looking properly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
