Will the Corsair AX860 have all the necessary outputs for the Kaby Lake or Ryzen 7 motherboards and cpus?

I will be building a quiet as possible new generation cpu system in a Fractal R5 case.
My hearing isn't so good and I want to hear my speakers without ticking off the family.

If that PSU won't have the correct outputs what would you recommend that has platinum efficiency and lowest possible noise ratings?

Of those two, get the P2. The G3 850 is for sale on amazon for 120, with better performance than both. I would recommend the G3.

Seasonic Prime 850Watts. Absolute beast PSU, at a cheaper price than the AX, currently the best power supply on the market as far as I'm aware. (At 850watts, the prime line doesn't go any higher YET).

Thanks! I was going off a quick look at what was on sale at a local store and trying to cram info before heading over to a Newegg depot for a case pick up. The reviews looked decent on those but I didn't feel positive on the intigration with new boards...and the number of options there was time to compare. There is also a couple refurbished deals on AX860 that are in the $110 range.
I'll look into the models you mentioned.

I would never buy a referb it's already failed one time.

The theory (which is often missed when a third party contractor is hired) is that the quality control dropped in the batch during the item's build and once returned to the manufacturer it is repared and spacifically tested before being resold, making it better tested and assured than any (mid batch) new item.

You are right as it can definitely be hit and miss these days...
