1000w: $89.99

These are re-branded FSP Hydro PTM PSUs, which are cultist Tier A. They list the Maingear Ignition line as speculative Tier B as they have not been tested, but the units appear identical. 10 year limited warranty. I purchased the 1200w 3 weeks ago and am happy with it. Add to cart to see price.

I apologize in advance if I misunderstood your question.

If you are asking if you can use cables from your previous Corsair PSU, then I have a warning for you. PSU wires and cables are not interchangeable. Always use cables provided to you by the PSU manufacturer. The PSU and the wires that come are specifically engineered (volted) to work with each other. By using wiring from another company, you run the risk of damaging the part connected to the PSU or the PSU itself.

In case you need some supplementary info, here is a Gamers Nexus video that talks a little about dangers of mixing psu cables in first 2-3 mins.

Hope this helps!
Lacks of modern feature and ATX 3.0 is what holding me back ,I already have 850 Titanium rating from seasonic which is the only one guaranteed 90% efficiency at even less than 10% load

FSP is a good brand. I think they're A Tier in the cultists ranking, but I'm not sure about this specific model.

FSP makes good products, this maingear rebrand seems to be based on one of their better models. It doesn't have the latest 12 pin connector but this is still a very good value for both psus. Maingear also has very good support from what I've seen, one of the better prebuilt companies.

Could you please provide a link to the seasonic psu? I still have a running EVGA P2 850 Platinum running strong but it's getting close to 10 years and I'm already looking for a replacement if it ever goes out.

Anyone have any thoughts between this and the Vetroo deal posted here last week (https://slickdeals.net/f/17016238-1000w-vetroo-gv1000-80-gold-atx-3-0-fully-modular-desktop-power-supply-120-free-shipping?src=category_page)?

I'm not entirely sure what the benefits of having PCIe Gen 5.0 ports and ATX 3.0 on the Vetroo

Edit: will most likely be running a 7800x3d or 7900x and a 7900xtx graphics card

Basically ATX 3.0 adds a new power connector that will presumably be used for more GPUs going forward. In your case it's likely a case of whether or not you want to future proof for those as I believe all of the 7900 xtx cards are currently using the existing 8-pin connectors and not the new one. I have a 7900 xtx and it uses 3 8 pin connectors.

not challenging you or anything, just more curious, but aren't there aftermarket companies that make specific-length cables for build aesthetics? how do those cables come into play if they're not meant to be mixed?
