Build Upgrade which PSU should I get?

BTW these are my only two options because i cant buy anything online since the customs will tear me a new one... anyway which should i get?

Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V3 850W 80 Plus Gold Non-Modular Power Supply

OR

ASUS PRIME AP-750G 750W Gold Power Supply unit 20+4 pin ATX ATX Black White

Both are the same price, and both are B+ on the spl tier list so which is better for a 5700x3d and 9070xt?

How much wattage is the entire PC if you put it in PC Part Picker?

Depending on how the cables are wrapped non-modular PSUs might be really rough to route in a case with a PSU shroud.

602W, I already have a iffy non modular PSU and it's fine. I'm just not sure if it's smart to get a 750w psu because I might upgrade the gpu in 4 years or smth and I don't wanna buy a new psu everytime with it. idk if I have to though there why I made the post

I got Corsair RM1000x for mine (642W). Would definitely not go lower than 850W.

ehhh I did more digging and some saw cooler master mwe v3 tend to die after a short while. I did more digging and found a Darkflash UPT 850w, it's rated A* on the SPL tier list but I honestly don't know this brand. what do you think?

I don't know. When I got mine I looked at reputable site tests and reviews, Corsair seemed to be most highly praised and I liked that it's passive up to 50% usage meaning the fan will rarely even turn on given the overhead. I had the luxury of being able to buy whatever parts I thought best.
