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.

XPG Pylon 650W

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

An unremarkable but functional budget Bronze unit, worth it mainly for XPG ecosystem consistency.
