Are there any suggestions for a 650W + fully modular PSU?
No one can suggest a suitable 650w or higher fully modular PSU. It should fit the MSi B850Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard with two 8-pin CPU power connectors and support the Ryzen 5 7600. The budget is up to £120. I've checked the excel tier list online, but most options are either unavailable in the UK or no longer in production. No brand preference, any recommendations welcome.
MSI A-GL produces a lot of noise. Consider switching to a Phanteks GH or Thermaltake PF3.
The Classic RM650 is a reasonable option, though it comes at a higher cost.

An 850W Power 12 with PF3 seems to be the best fit.
The non-modular Power 12 lacks the same internal components.
Without a well-regarded review, the most reliable way to gauge PSU quality is through warranty information. I believe 7 years is acceptable, but 10 to 12 years would be preferable. It's wise to purchase a more robust unit than initially required—such as a 750W or 850W model. The increase in price is generally justified. The typical upgrade path for gamers involves switching to a more powerful graphics card, which might necessitate a higher-quality PSU. It's better to prepare ahead of time. Modern GPUs can experience significant power surges that a stronger PSU can manage effectively. Although it will cost more initially, the PSU should be the component you prioritize buying affordably.
