Hi All,
I’m based in the UK and setting up a gaming/software development PC according to the details you provided.

Regarding the PSU, I’m having trouble picking one out. The Seasonic is appealing, but the Prime PX and TX models won’t be available until summer and meet full ATX 3.0 standards. The MSI Meg at 1300W seems solid, though Seasonics appear to offer better options.
For this build, what wattage should I aim for? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I use this setup with my 7950x3D/4090 and the EVGA Supernova GT 1300W.
I've been running it for a long time without any problems.
