Such a good price. Postage charges apply of £10 but still super cheap. For me I drive home so it's a 15 minutes detour for me so worth looking it up if you live near stoke as might be cheaper to drive than pay postage.

does any modern PC actually require 1000 watts?

If you're using more than 1 GPU and a high end mobo and CPU etc (mainly gpu) then possibly. A friend of mine runs a 1200 with 2 980 but I run at 850w but on a single gpu. For this price though it's worth getting since most 850 will be around this price as well.

if you are running SLI or crossfire, you might. This is a pretty good PSU for the price, regardless of wattage.
According to one of those online wattage calculators a system with the following specs would consume 780w:
6800k overclocked to 4.5GHz @ 1.3v
64GB of RAM
2x GTX 1080's overclocked to 2GHz
an m.2 SSD
3 sata SSD's
2x 7200rpm drives
4 140mm fans
and a Kraken x61
You'd really have to take it to a serious extreme to need anything over an 850w.
Saying that a higher wattage psu should run cooler/quieter due to not being stressed as much.

Yes, I have the 850w of this one and it's great! Quiet and does the job.

Its a great deal but 1000W!
I have EVGA SuperNova P2 650 W version and the fan never spins, I don't get anywhere near to the threshold on Skylake, totally silent :-)
But if I needed PSU I would go for this, mine EVGA is a really nice bit of kit,

It also gives room for upgrading. If you ever wanted to upgrade then you wouldn't need to think "Will I need a new PSU"

Other than the dodgy ATX ribbon and very minor voltage stability (nothing to be concerned about) this is a very nice PSU and at a great price.

Specs from Nvidia for the 1080
Graphics Card Power (W) 180 W
Recommended System Power(W)3 500 W
*Supplementary Power Connectors 8-Pin
The 1050 doesn't even have a power connector as it runs off the PCI power.
I guess if you wanted 2 of the 1080 bad-boys then 1000W but then I guess you would be kinda rich enough to for a super silent PSU.
This one doesn't seem to have a eco mode button which means the fan will always be spinning which is not great for me anyway as I like silence.

I just picked up the Seasonic X750 750W fully modular for 79 on amazon (89 minus 10 code for amazon students - APPRENTICE10)
have yet to install it
if I hadn't bought that, I would have been seriously considering this one
both tier 1 PSUs (presumably with G1 - G2 and G3 are both on any tier 1 list), both top quality and very stable
I don't think I'll ever run 4+ GPUs so 750W should do me fine
great deal heat added

It's an amazing PSU, a truly lovely piece of electrical engineering, but utterly pointless for the vast, vast majority of people. That, however, doesn't stop this being a good deal for the few people who need such a monster of a power supply.
Heat added, OP. :smiley:
EDIT: For some reason I read this as G2 not G1. It's still a good deal, just not as good as I thought.
