All PSU models are rated as Tier-B. If you obtain the 1000W model, you'll have some flexibility; if your budget permits, it's worth considering. For reference, you haven't mentioned the price of each PSU, your location, or any other units you might have.

Will an 850W provide sufficient power for the Steel Legend RX9070XT and R7 7800X3D?
