And with more and more optimizations for different algos the power consumption will also increase so I personally like to use actual power consumption figures rather than what the advertised specs say.

Then, the EVGA wouldn't be enough either at 1300W. We'd have to go 5 GPUs, or 1500W PSUs, which are significantly less cost efficient.

I live in Central EU and there are 6 retailers selling the Evga PSU in my country and only one of them selling the Cooler Master V1200 so I have to assume there must be some webshops in France too selling the G2 for a reasonable price (260€).

The main online retailers (LDLC, materiel.net) simply don't list EVGA PSUs, at all.
After a bit of digging, I found a smaller one that's not too shady and sells it for 230€. Looks great!
It even lists a Super Flower Leadex 1600W - 80+ Gold at 290€...

Now, the specs say 2 cables are 2*8pin, and 4 cables are 1*8pin. So you would still need adapters...
