Hellooo
The two PSUs offer several strong features:
- MSI MAG A750GL
- Antec GSK750 ATX 3.1
CPU (Processor): Ultra 5 245K
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI
CPU Cooler: NOCTUA NH-D15 Chromax Black (Air Cooler)
RAM (Memory): 32GB DDR5
Storage (SSD): Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe
GPU (Graphics Card): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
Mediocre performance, near acceptable level. Tier B+ recommended. Should include FDB fan, but review indicated excessive noise.
Low standard build quality, average results. Tier B suggested.
Insufficiently adjusted safeguards, average signal handling, and subpar fan speed.
For a gaming rig requiring a solid PSU, Tier A is ideal. Examples: Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.

Tier A is sufficient, while Tier A+ is preferred.
(All my three PCs run exclusively on Tier A power supplies. I own Seasonic PRIME 650 Titanium (A+), Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650 Titanium (A+), and Seasonic Focus PX-550 (A). Detailed specs and images are in my profile.)
Why?
Higher cost with diminished performance versus Ryzen 9000-series. An R5 9600X would perform better, and it’s also more affordable.

R5 9600X is $70 cheaper and provides roughly 10 FPS extra at 1080p,

I haven’t encountered anyone who would pay more for inferior results.
There is almost no noticeable difference in performance between the R5 9600X and R7 9700X games. Unless you really need the slight improvement of about 0.5% on 1080p and two additional CPU cores with four extra threads, then choose the R7 9700X. However, at 1440p you'd experience a 0.5% drop in performance, and at 4K it's a 0.4% decrease.
For gaming, the R5 9600X remains a solid choice. But if you aim for the absolute best, the R7 9800X3D is the top option, and it comes with a similar price.
Even if performance were perfectly equal (which it isn't), comparing the U5 245K to the R5 9600X doesn't justify paying an extra 1200 just for that.
On top of that, the U5 245K has a 125W CPU with turbo up to 159W, whereas both the R5 9600X and R7 9700X have 65W CPUs. So, with half the power usage, they provide slightly better performance while the R5 9600X is much more affordable.
Although I generally prefer Intel, I've used Intel CPUs for the past decade. My brand attachment isn't strong enough to pay more for inferior results. This time, I'm leaning towards the Ryzen, as current Ryzen CPUs offer the best value (performance per price). Next month, I plan to switch to the R7 9800X3D.
The entire Intel Core Ultra 200-series is a waste of money.
With the extra 1200 available for the U5 245K compared to the R5 9600X, you could upgrade with better RAM, a faster SSD, or simply save the difference.
But if budget isn't a constraint, go for the U9 285K and consider it complete.
The RTX 4060ti doesn't require much power. Both models provide adequate quality and wattage for this setup, whether you choose Intel or AMD Ryzen.
I'm reconsidering the Ryzen and found some PSUs available. What are your thoughts?
Which RM750x is it—SKU CP-9020285, CP-9020199 or CP-9020179? There are a few older RM750x models left, but no new ones currently.
Tier A+. RMx 2021 edition.
Tier A.
Tier B+.
Recommended choice: Corsair RMx.
