Gigabyte 850W PSU

I used an 850W Gigabyte PSU for this build because with a GPU like the RTX 5080, you don’t gamble on power. In an open-frame dock like the DEG2, PSU choice also affects noise a lot, so a solid unit matters.

Pros

+Plenty of headroom for high-end GPU eGPU setups
+Helps keep power delivery stable for demanding loads

Cons

-PSU noise can still be the loudest part depending on model/load
-Adds bulk and cables to the setup
