Verdict

ASUS ROG Strix 1000W Gold ATX3.0

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

ASUS extends the Strix Gold ATX3.0 line to 1000W here, keeping the Aura Sync-lit fan shroud and Axial-tech blades from the 850W model while adding headroom for a higher-end GPU.

Corsair RM650x

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

The 650x is Corsair's mainstream sweet spot: quiet Zero RPM idling, a 10-year warranty, and enough headroom for a mid-range gaming build without overspending on wattage you won't use.
