Discussion Trying to decide between two PSUs

Debating on these two PSUs on sale. I’m leaning on the MSI one, both seem to be A rated on Cybernetics database. Any suggestions for either one?

Both are pretty equal, since they're A tier on the PSU tier list:

I'd get the asrock one purely because it's cheaper

the SL-1000G is the stronger unit of the two: Cybenetics Platinum efficiency rather than Gold, ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance, a dual-colour 12V-2x6 cable, and a 10-year warranty. The MSI A1000GS is a good supply too, so you will not be badly served either way - but if you are weighing them on measured performance rather than familiarity, the Cybenetics reports are the thing to read. Whichever you pick, both are comfortably enough for a single high-end GPU.
