I've only used corsair in the past but I've been eyeballing some EVGA ones recently

Thank you for the feedback as we greatly appreciate it. 

I've always leaned towards Seasonic for PSU's, but given my affiliation to other EVGA products I may give a PSU a shot next build.

What I really find funny nowadays, is all the idiots that will spend $$$ thousands of $$$$ on their system components (RAM, CPU, GPU, Motherboard, NVMe SSD, 4/6/8/10 TB drives) but they will scrimp/cheap out & only buy an 850 W PSU. PURE IDIOTS!!!
 
If they bought an EVGA 1600 T2 PSU, it will future proof all future builds & outlast ALL their future upgrades for 10 years or longer :o) ~$300 extra is worth it in the long run over 10+ years investment wise.
1600 T2 = $579.99 USD
  850 T2 = $279.99 USD
 
The 1600 W PSU will run far more efficiently than an 850 W PSU that is maxed out or near maxed out from an engineering POV. We've proven this for the last 50 years. Buy the largest PSU for future proofing & it will last forever on all your builds. I've never had a top of the line EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair, Enermax fail so it pays to buy the top wattage up front.

EVGA power supply and EVGA 3080, that’s all I need.

I have always been Corsair for PSU's over the years, even had one fail on me and the RMA process was very smooth. But seriously considering a 1000W+ G2 when stock is more readily available.

EVGA b-stock is the way to go if you need something good for cheap.
 

How are EVGA's when it comes to noise levels? I couldn't tell if they have a silent line of PSUs, and I want an extremely quiet one to replace my current PSU that ramps up like a jet engine nowadays.

My pc tower is next to me.  I've had the same psu since 2015 (EVGA 650w P2) and I have never hear it.  I can hear my case fans but that's it.  Sometimes I can even hear the cpu cooler fans, but still no noise from the psu at all.  EVGA make some really good power supplies.

I have been waiting for something in the 1200W range to come into stock but right now I can work with only a G3 850W. It’s been a great power supply and my reason for upgrade would be to move to something Platinum rated.

All of my psu's are Platinum rated.  It's a good series.  Have 2 of them since 2015  (I have 3 computers).   I haven't tried Gold, but not going to switch since I've so much good luck on what I've had so far.

Guess you are using the PSU for mining. What T2 means?

I have several EVGA 1600 T2 that have been running 24/7/365 since they first came out with ZERO issues & they are quiet. No noise whatsoever. You can't go wrong with the T2 for future proofing.

I use P2 series.  Run the computers 24/7.  Do you think there is a big difference between the T2 and the P2?   wanting to know since I need to buy an 850w when I get my 3070 (whenever that will be).

Good discussion about PSU efficiency here in this thread.  

I personally have never exceeded the platinum series of PSU's and the majority of mine are golds.

I only use evga power supplies for all of my builds. Great product.

In all honesty what is the draw to these power supplies in particular? I was team Corsair all the way but from how little I actually see it etc I kind of want to try a cheaper alternative next time .

LMAO. So much misinformation here. 1600w PSU is not at all more efficient than 850 watt unit unless it's a higher rated unit. In fact it's worse at lower loads since it will sit below 20% load when people are not pushing their rigs like gaming. I expect even those EVGA 650w G2 that I bought years ago to last at least 10 years. My old Corsair (Seasonic OEM) lasted that long, and could still be running. Your an engineer? I find that hard to believe. Engineers usually sit quietly working on stuff. They deal in facts. Marketing, on the other hand, they love to upsell, and make bold claims without any proof.  They deal in hyperbole, and stay firmly in that gray area.
