Decent quality budget power supply.

I bought this power supply shortly after it was released because all other power supplies from this brand have received fair reviews. When I bought it, it wasn't cheap and I took a risk. I've been using it since installing it in March 2020, mostly 24/7. I had no problems with it, would buy again. It really impressed me. Higher quality capacitors are certainly noteworthy as well, as other installations in the house will be live (often in my area), but this won't miss a beat. One note: unless you push it to the limit, such as when using a 650W setup for this PSU, it will last longer. I've almost doubled the amount of this excess power, and I suspect if I had 600-700 watts I wouldn't be as impressed. Probably no more than 600w or maybe 650w in series if you expect it to last long.
