This seems like regular price? Good if you need this specific mode, right away, I suppose?

This is retail price... did you just forget Best Buy exists or something?

I hope there are no people who DIY their PC by taking over a year to buy all the parts at their cheapest. When I decide to upgrade/build my PC, I buy everything within a month.

15% tariffs. Shortages in components. And of course the same people who would buy this 1000w PSU, the chief cause of PC shortage everywhere instead of blaming it on the pandemic, the miners.

I started doing exactly that but realized the difference between buying a part at the cheapest vs. Buying it on sale at a good price is generally a difference of $10 to $20. In the end you might as well buy a cheap used computer and just upgrade overtime if you want to wait on the lowest price for parts because it will take about a year. If you're just waiting for a good sale price it will usually be about a month.

If you need this, then this is a good price in a long while. Miners grab lots of the higher wattage and higher end ones.

I am waiting for the 12v only that can get platinum level for cheap. Oem already shipped with those. Hopefully by the time we get graphic card and cpu, it will start to roll out for the diy crowd.

The ride never ends. And as inflation hits fiat currencies, the mining will just get worse. Safe haven.

In short, grab it now if you need it, even if it isn't the cheapest ever.

Looked into 1000w psu a while ago and decided against this one due to newegg's reviews. [newegg.com]

Go with a corsair or an Evga imho

Dude, Seasonic makes almost all of Corsair's Power Supplies.

Seriously. Even if I save $50, is it worth $50 to not use my new PC for a year? It seems kind of pointless.

I'd rather be waiting on the CPU/GPU/etc. to come in stock than get everything I need except the PSU and then have to wait for the PSU to come in stock.

You can always run an underpowered system on an overpowered PSU, but good luck running an overpowered system on an underpowered PSU.
