The humble PSU often gets looked over when buying components for a new gaming PC build but it's important that you don't buy rubbish. This MSI unit is anything but rubbish, and thanks to being fully modular, it's easy to install. And if you have an Nvidia graphics card with a 12VHPWR socket, you'll be pleased to know that MSI fitted this PSU with a dedicated power output and cable. Goodbye, adapters! Make sure you use the rebate card and promo code TTCDX2278 to get the full discount.

Slight confession, though. I bought the A850GL version, just to have a little more power headroom, and that's on sale at Newegg for just $84. But if you don't need all that power capacity and you're looking to save a few dollars, then the A750GL is a bargain, coming in at a cent under $70 at Newegg, with a rebate card and promo code.

If you have an Nvidia graphics card with a 12VHPWR power socket, the A750GL is a great match for it, as it has a dedicated connection to just those GPUs. It has an output of 450 W, which is good enough for everything up to and including an RTX 4080 Super. In theory, it should be fine for an RTX 4090, but
