Found this shopping around for a 850 PSU. Shows free shipping to QLD at least for me.
Past my budget around $100 but someone might be keen on this deal…

Evga G2's used to be great (according to Johnny Guru), but haven't bought one for a wile, and someone mentioned that the OEM changed here. Make sure to check if buying :)
Why is this an overkill especially on a case without a side panel?
10 year warranty etc - seems good.Oh. My reply was incomplete. I meant to say I'd spend more than $100, typically.
If the case being perfectly neat isn't important (as it's not visible), and really Platinum vs gold isn't much of a difference. Even in a small case most of the extra heat will be rejected by the psu rather than go into the case. That's what I meant by "tad overkill". You could easily step down from a fully modular Platinum psu, but I'd still aim for a top tier brand, and gold at least.
Does a Platinum PSU run hotter than a Gold PSU?
My Gold 850W PSU cost more than $100@wetwork: The difference in efficiency is lost as heat.
But yeah that's the point I tried to make, badly haha, to op was that I'd generally suggest spending more than $100 and get a good brand, with a gold efficiency, if they didn't want to buy something as fancy as this EVGA psu.

have this to power 5950x, 64GB ram, 2TB 980 pro and 3080… it all turns on. admittedly they are all accessories for my rgb lighting
Dude I think you need an upgrade 😆
Just a thought for op/others, if you're looking for an 850w psu, chances are you're running a fairly nice high end cpu and/or gpu. I'd definitely be spending enough to get a good brand (e.g. Something seasonic/superflower) and at least gold.
Fully modular Platinum may be a tad overkill, especially on a case without a side panel.
