Will be Lian Li Edge 1300W platinum good choose or there better 1200-1300w PSU? ( up to 300$ ATX3.1)

The reviews I've seen of that one are pretty good. Other good ones to consider:
FSP Hydro PTM X Pro 1200W (platinum)
Super Flower Leadex VII Platinum Pro 1200W
be quiet! Straight Power 12 1200W (Platinum)

It is important to note that is NOT a conventional PSU. It has a custom shape and design. And while it is designed to fit most standard ATX cases, its size (182mm depth) limits options.

It also fell slightly short of required efficiency ratings - yet for sure, is still excellent.

You might also reconsider getting a Platinum certified PSU. Unless you find a good deal on the purchase price, it can easily take YEARS in energy savings to make up the typical higher costs over a good "Gold" certified supply.

It is important to note that higher efficiency rates is NOT an indication of quality or reliability.

To me, unless I was building a dual-chamber computer, I would look for a different PSU.

I should buy gold instead of platinum?

I should buy gold instead of platinum?

I am NOT saying you should buy anything. What I am saying is, technically speaking there is nothing to suggest your computer (or PSU) will be more stable, perform better, or last longer with a Platinum over a Gold. I am also saying, unless you find a good deal on a Platinum, the extra you typically have to pay for a Platinum is rarely worth it in terms of energy savings. Gold's already have excellent efficiency. The couple percentage points difference can take years, many years to make up the extra cost. Remember, computers and thus the demand for power typically run closer to idle speeds and demands longer than they do maximum. And typically in any given 24 hour period, our computers are off (or asleep) way longer than up and running.

So it takes a long time to consume 1kWh of energy a couple watts at a time. And the average cost per kWh in the US is just over $0.16. (See this)

So what I am saying is, don't pass up a good deal on a good Gold thinking you "need" a Platinum.

Okay
