A best-in-class 1200W Platinum-rated ATX unit for a workstation or multi-GPU build with serious headroom, held back only by its premium price.

NZXT C850 Gold

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.
