Help me telling me if this is a good PSU

Hi everyone! I'm planning to get the Corsair RM850e (2025) for a future 5070 build. Is it a solid choice? I've heard some talk about coil whine, i don't like it. Is that a common issue with this model? Thanks for the help!

Get the century II 850w on 90$ or spend an extra 15% for a 1050w century II

That was gonna be my first pick but they were hard to get in my country. I'd go for that if you can OP

The RM850e is bad choice?

No not bad, corsair is very reputable just that the montech is better value. they are newer to the market which is why they are cheap but they are high quality. If you want to go with the corsair its not a bad choice.

Good PSU, but cables are not so premium compared to Corsair.

Solid pick but the 5070 doesn't need 850W. A good 600W is enough.

Solid pick.

tier A- B+ psu, cheaper than RMx. How about super flower leadex price?
