I want to upgrade my PSU to replace my MasterWatt 650 Bronze. It seems that all GOLD PSUs are approximately the same in quality, but I will be glad to hear your opinion about the models I have chosen. CoolerMaster V750 Plus Gold-V2, MSI MPG A850GF, Gigabyte P850GM or DeepCool DQ850-M-V2L. There is also a power supply from ANTEC Earthwatts GOLD PRO 750W, but I hear about this manufacturer for the first time. I want to take at least 750W for a future upgrade. I have a 3060ti and a 10400f and I have about 100-20 watts available before the PSU is 100% loaded, which is not desirable. Especially since I want to upgrade to 11400f or 11600.
 
anything Gold 80+ certified or better and you're in the right area.
add to that any manufacturer that offers a 7 year warranty and you are even more in the ball park.
the really good ones offer 10 years, like eVGA, SeaSonic, Corsair.

I've used heaps over the years, like Antec, CoolerMaster and ThermalTake and have found them all good.
as said, just get the high-end of their product range and you'll be fine.

PSU's really are one of those "you get what you pay for" type of components. :)

Thank you! I'll take a power supply from CoolerMaster V750 Plus Gold-V2 or MSI MPG A850GF, looked at reviews and reviews, good power supplies.
 
will 750 be enough?
If you are buying a psu with a ten-year warranty, think of what upgrades you might do in the next ten years
or course you don't want overkill either

I don't think I can make plans for the next 10 years ahead, given how quickly the situation in the world is changing. But I think that even if I want to upgrade after 3-4 years, a 750 watt power supply is enough. Of course, if I don't buy a 3080 level graphics card, then I should look at 850watt. But by then it's easier for me to buy a new power supply for a new graphics card:)

^All of this.

My personal suggestion would be eVGA due to their warranty and customer service. The warranty process is pretty easy if you need to use it. Took maybe a week tops for them to confirm the issue and then send me a new one :).

This would be my personal suggestion.
