Verdict

Antec HCG850 Gold Extreme

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-priced step below the HCG1000 with the same ATX 3.0 platform and 10-year warranty, right for RTX 4080-class builds.

MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

The MPG A1000G is the consumer sibling to MSI's server-oriented A1000GS, keeping Zero Frozr fan control and a native 12V-2x6 connector for gaming rigs that don't need the GS's extra hardening.
