Verdict
ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold ATX3.0
8.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid 850W Gold-rated ATX unit for a popular RTX 4070 Ti / RTX 5070-class gaming build, held back only by the usual mid-tier compromises on cabling and OEM sourcing.
Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 750W
7 / 10 Expert Rating
MWE Bronze V2 is Cooler Master's entry-level line, and the 750W semi-modular version is a straightforward budget pick for a mid-range build that doesn't need Gold efficiency or full modularity.
