AMD presents its new mid-range GPU, the Radeon RX 9070. So, maybe you're considering building a new setup around this GPU or upgrading your current setup, and you're wondering which power supply you should buy. Let's take a look at the different options for the best power supply, and discover which one is right for you.
RM750x will be the optimal choice if you are looking for a fully modular PSU. The RM750x is also 80 PLUS gold and Cybenetics gold-rated for efficiency, and scores an A from Cybenetics in their noise levels testing too.
As most of you are interested in the specific cables each PSU comes with, we've included a table with the cable configuration and for those who are interested purely in technical data we add the power table. We’ll include these specs for the other PSUs we recommend too.
