Which PSU would you take for a PC to be “future proof” - by that I mean ready for current gen GPU (like 9070XT) once new gen arrives and owners will switch and sell me their old one. PSU should be reliable and quiet.

  • Lian Li RS1000G
  • Montech Century II 1050 gold

I know kW PSU is probably OP, but there’s not much price difference between this and something like 750W, at least where I live…

    Oh, yeah, forgot to link this - it’s where I always start my PSU search, it’s really useful, especially to quickly filter through garbage (afterwards I lookup specific reviews with some measurements depending on what PSUs are within the budget & available).

      I know about the list, checked it through, compared it to regional pricing and these two are basically what I am left with. There are some lesser wattage contenders too and/or bit cheaper ones, but does $20 saved on the most important PC part make sense?

      I also went through Cybenetics testing where both these seems to pass well. As I read it Montech is possibly slightly better performing, but a bit louder.

      Pricing is virtually the same here in Czech Republic, difference in maybe equivalent of $5.

      Ideal would be if there were someone with first hand experience with either of these. Or something in similar price range. No Corsair please. Despite their flawless reviews two different Corsair units are to this day the only PSUs that exploded in my PC, not fun + the brand stopped existing for me.
