Choose A Power Supply
Here are some solid power supply options that should hold up well over the next few years. Since your system runs continuously and you need reliable performance, I’ve selected models that balance durability and efficiency without overspending on unnecessary wattage. Prices listed reflect current availability and include shipping, taxes, and any applicable discounts.
Good quality 550W will suffice. However, for now, 750W models are more affordable than 550W ones. Still, the 750W version won't cause any issues.
Either choice is acceptable and would be my preference;

No matter which you select (Seasonic or Super Flower), a lifetime of 10 years is guaranteed. Of course, there are 550W units from the Seasonic line too, but they're about 10 dollars more than the 750W model. It might be better to save a bit and opt for the 750W unit.
But if you lean towards Corsair, consider the RMx or RMi series.

No matter which you select (Seasonic or Super Flower), a lifetime of 10 years is guaranteed for both. Of course, there are 550W units from the Seasonic line too, but they are about 10 dollars more than the 750W model. It might be better to save a bit and opt for the 750W unit.
If you prefer Corsair, consider the RMx or RMi series.
(By the way, I also use Seasonic Focus, but mine is a PX-550. It runs my old AMD build, and I have two Seasonic PRIME TX-650 PSUs, though they are top-of-the-line and not recommended for this suggestion. They also cost a lot.)
By general standards, a solid warranty ensures a high-quality power supply. Consider a lifespan of seven years, ten would be ideal. The advice provided is effective. Avoid overestimating wattage; a PSU will only use the power it needs, no matter its maximum capacity.
I believe the SeaSonic is a good choice because it matches the cables for my SeaSonic PRIME in my main system.

They also offer great customer support!
Thanks!
Seasonic is excellent.
They consistently provide detailed answers to my queries about their lineup. Beyond customer service, Seasonic devices are crafted with great attention to detail and deliver top-notch quality (with the exception of the most affordable models). That's why I'm currently running three Seasonic units alongside my PCs (I actually have five, while the other two are no longer in use).
