I want to take advantage of the current sale. I currently have an 850 GA PSU. I am looking to go to a 1000 watt PSU as I am going to a 12700k from a 10700k next week. I will be OCing the 12700k and I run an FTW3 3090 with 500 watt bios. I feel I will be close to max on my 850. I have decided on the 1000watt P series, but unsure if I should go p2, p3 or p5. I compared them all but still unsure which will be best. Any advice is appreciated.

    I think all three are excellent choices. 

    The P2 is a SuperFlower and has an established history of reliability.    Same goes with the P3.  P5 is the newcomer to this group.

    Were it me?  I would go with the P2.   But it is considerably larger than your current GA.    If you need to say the same size the the P5 is the way to go.  P3 sits between those in terms of size.

    Note:  Your GA cables may not have compatible pin outs if you were considering using them for extra's.   So double check pin outs before using.
