Question Which PSU should I get?

[Eyemento]

I've went through some topics here and the SPL's PSU Tier List as I'm looking to get a new PSU since I'm upgrading my GPU to RTX 5080 with future upgrade possibility in mind.
So the requirements are:

• Atleast 1000 watts
• ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compatible
• A Tier atleast
• A reputable brand the likes of Corsair, Seasonic
• My budget can stretch but around 200-300 euros
• Available in my country (Netherlands)
• Embossed cables included would be nice but is optional

My build is

CPU (Processor)	Intel i9-12900K
Motherboard	Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro
CPU Cooler	NZXT Kraken X62
RAM (Memory)	32GB DDR5
Storage (SSD)	Samsung 980 PRO 2TB
GPU (Graphics Card)	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
Case	Fractal Design Torrent

My eye caught these models:

Apply the power calculators and do your own wattage totaling as well.

Add Wattage for extra margin and future growth.

According to that review it's between the Montech Century II Gold 1050w and the Be quiet Dark Power 13, the be quiet gets a lot of bad reviews for fan noise apparently

I will defer to those who use or have used either or both PSUs.

"Noise" being somewhat circumstantial and subjective.

No, people saying it sounds like an old fridge... not what it's supposed to be, sounds like a manufacturing problem. Be Quiet Dark Power 13 faulty noise

Nvidia recommends at least 850W.
1000w is a good idea.
Your psu will draw only the power demanded of it and will be quieter while operating in the most efficient middle third of it's range.
In the absence of a authoritative review of a psu, look to the warranty as a good indicator of quality. 10 years at least, 12 years is better
