Don't find many reviews for some of these components. Do you know if any of these PSUs would be a better or worse option compared to the others for this build?

from what i have read, the new Corsair CX (2023) units represent a step back compared to a few years ago. essentially, it's a rebranded version of the VS series. reviews i found on the MSI model indicated it was also on the lower end. that put the thermaltake GX2 in the same spot. recently, i searched for budget PSUs and came across some good options. i decided to go with the GX2 myself until i discovered a solid deal with a GF3. though, the GX2 still seemed like the most affordable choice without sacrificing too much quality. based on current prices, it would still be my top recommendation.
