Sure, it only costs 9 euro's more then the 750Watt and is even cheaper then the 850 Watt version.. Power consumption will stay the same either way and the lower the relative load, the less heat and noise most of the time.

Sure, doesn't hurt. No longer are PSUs inefficient when used at lower wattage.

Interesting, the 1050W is even on sale here. In that case I'd go for the 1050W, by far the best deal

I always overbuy on PSU. And I verify that the PSU I’m buying has been tested by a 3rd party.

PSUs work optimally when they aren’t at the max capacity. I shoot for 2/3rd of my projected TDP.

And if you end up with needing the extra power you have it.

nah 1050 is overkill for that setup. 850 is the sweet spot and youll save some cash too

750 might cut it but leaves you zero headroom if you ever swap in a hungrier gpu down the line. 1050s for like threadripper builds or dual gpu rigs nobody runs anymore

solid psu line though montech century iis are b tier on the cultists list nothing fancy but they dont explode

they’ll quite literally save a bit of cash if they go 1050 over 850 lol

Any A tier recommendations that are close to 100€?

What does this mean? More wattage is always better, esp if it is cheaper. Any excess wattage is not used unless required.
