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...
you can find french retailer in france from evga their website I think.
Personnally I wouldn't buy a cooler master (I had problem with one) go for corsair, seasonic and other reputable brand (wouldn't go for evga either because they are probably more expensive and you buy mostly the brand... probably the case with corsair too tbh and they probably just rebrand seasonic psu  Grin)
yeah actually go for seasonic, they are building their psu...
