ATX 3.0 PSU suggestions

Hey everyone! I have just made a fresh build a few weeks ago and my PSU decided to crap itself, my guess is that it was just a faulty unit from the factory (brand new, got it refunded). Now I am looking for a new PSU and I am not sure which one to pick. The one I that crapped itself was a Be Quiet Straigh Power 12 1000W.

My current build has a 7800X3D and an RTX 4080S

My current variants are to either get the same PSU, or:

- Asus ROG Loki 1000W

- Asus ROG Thor platinum 2 1000W

- Seasonic Vertex PX-1200

- Seasonic Focus GX850

- Be Quiet Dark Power 13 1000W

- Corsair RM850x

I don't necessarily want a really high wattage PSU, it's just that they usually have better efficiency ratings. I believe with this system I can safely go down to 850W, or even 750W. Also, I don't care about looks/RGB or anything like that because the PSU is under a really huge shroud, so nothing is visible. I honestly am open to pay anything up to 400$ as long as it decreases the chances of the PSU shitting itself suddenly, although as far as I've seen it's pretty common for PSUs to be DOA even.

If anyone knows about Romania, I am open to any ATX3.1 psu as well, although I haven't seen any outside of the US market.

EDIT: ended up getting an RMx Shift instead, as it's a better price and people seem to recommend that one a lot. Waiting for the delivery now.
