The PSU recommendation has been refined.

CWT made gold units are a reliable choice overall.
Super flower has not reached its former quality, about 8-10 years ago.
They still produce high-end quality parts, though they haven’t maintained the standard in the mid-range category like EVGA.
I recommend the RM850x (2021) or MSI A850GF.
Both feature louder fans than the RMx (2018) model, but only under heavy use.
Your system will consume around 450w during gaming, which means only a 50-60% draw from your power supply.
The fans remain relatively quiet at low to medium loads on these models.
I understand your concern, but I’m not too worried since I only use a headset and louder noise makers in my room. Can you explain the difference between the RM and RXM series from Corsair?
I came across an article highlighting the distinctions between the rm and rmx series, and I believe I will choose the rmx. Thank you very much.
RMx offers superior build quality in general (improved caps, better fans, etc.).
RM was intended to replace TX, which is a tier below RMx.
The configuration sequence is: VS/CX/TX-RM-RMe/RMx-RMi/HX.
Thank you very much. I just placed the order for the rmx 850, which is the black one I originally wanted. Even after checking the product page, I received the $10 honey back, which made the price not significantly higher than the RM. It looks like honey encourages people to buy directly from Corsair if they spend a few moments on its site. This might be useful for anyone planning to buy directly from them.
Thanks again for your help.
Considering I have an older system with a CX that's been working well for years, I probably shouldn't have made such changes as much as I did.
