@TreeUK don’t worry, 650w will be plenty of juice.
4K8KW10 just had a few too many space cakes this weekend.

The PSU Sparx linked is perfect for the job. It has a 10 year warranty, uses quality components and has easily enough power.
@Sparx I saw you’ve got a Corsair 750? Is it worth bumping to something similar for future proofing?
It's £13 more than the Phanteks not sure you need it but for peace if mind, then yes.
That was my point the corsair 750w is £13 more, there have been some good suggestions already.It was more the wattage than the make that I was asking about. Open to suggestions as always.

Tl;dr; I don’t know what I’m doing to make good choices.
My understanding and please correct me if I’m wrong is that generally 650 should be enough for current gen single GPUs, 750-850+ is if you’re planning to run two.
My thought process is that as I’m not planning to do that I’d have gone 650 but given the conflicting advice about next gen being super thirsty that makes me think 750 might be enough just in case. 850 was quoted elsewhere as the upper range for running a two card setup so it seems excessive. I don’t think any 750 PSUs have been suggested and I really don’t know the differences in quality, noise, features, running costs etc between any of these to know whether jumping to 850 makes sense hence my asking for advice from you all as a font of knowledge.

I’ve ordered the Dell monitor, no idea what was wrong with it.
I’ll order the rest today
Guys, why don't you use PSU calculators? Like this one - https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
It's a really powerful tool and according to it, the recommended PSU is 736-watt for your case.
You do need the 850-watt one in order to have some breathing room.
Yeah so my specs in my sig, your magic calculator recommends a 540w PSU...
So 850w is overkill, 650-750w is plenty... But I'm outta here debating this over and over lol
Thanks everyone for the help. Order placed!
