Verdict

Antec Signature 1300 Platinum

8.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A best-in-class 1300W Platinum-rated ATX unit for a workstation or multi-GPU build with serious headroom, held back only by its premium price.

NZXT E850

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A Seasonic-grade platform with genuinely useful CAM telemetry, worth the premium for NZXT ecosystem builds.
