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.

NZXT E850

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

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