This or the Phantek V2 1000w for $110? Both seem like capable ATX PSUs

Both are good quality. This uses a CWT platform and the Phanteks is made by Seasonic.

I slightly prefer this one having fully flat modular cables instead of braided ones (because of the in-cable caps) of the Phanteks, and the wire gauge of the TT cables is thicker (16 awg vs 18 awg).

From Cybenetics and review info on the TT and similar Seasonic units, I'd expect both to get a bit loud under high loads, i.e. above 85-90% and there are definitely quieter units out there (for a bit more $) but under typical gaming loads the fan noise will be quieter and shouldn't be noticable.

They are both A-tier PSUs according to https://cultists.network/psucultists/.

However, FWIW, this one is ATX 3.0, while the Phanteks AMP v2 is not. ATX 3.0 PSUs are supposed to handle transient power spikes much better (e.g., from power-hungry GPUs). At this performance/quality tier, I wouldn't worry too much; they're both very capable units.

I have the Phanteks one, and it works fine. Can't even hear the fan over the other fans in the system. Also, despite the retail pictures and what RichardR1490 wrote above, all cables coming with my Phanteks PSU were flat, except for the 24-pin motherboard cable, which was sleeved. It also came with the new 16-pin 12V cable for Nvidia GPUs.

In the end, it's all about whether you value the ATX 3.0 specification to be worth the extra $30. Keep in mind that you will always find top-tier 1000W PSUs on sale in the $120–160 range—even a platinum-rated one here and there.

The Phanteks PSU is a good deal at $110. But this Thermaltake at $140 is not so much of a deal—just a normal occurrence.

Most people won't need 1000W. The 850W Thermaltake GF A3 is only $95.

Yeah, but MSRP means nothing. Plus, retailers always inflate regular prices to make deals look even better. If you use PC Part Picker, you can get a better idea of what is a good deal: https://pcpartpicker.com/products...ice&page=1. Use it in conjunction with PSU Cultists' PSU rankings: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/.

True, unless you plan on upgrading your GPU to something much more power hungry within 1–2 years.

That's fair, but this would have to be a hypothetical RTX 5090 or something like that, as the RTX 4090 only requires a 850W PSU. Again, this isn't the case for most people.

Some RTX 4090 AIB partners do recommend 1000W: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/exp...-rtx-4090/. But I agree that a 4090/5090 buyer will get the very best PSU regardless of price.

I was thinking more of an RTX 3090 Ti, RX 6950 XT, RX 7900 XTX, or a future RX 8900 XT(X) coupled with a power hungry CPU. For example, see this article, where some AIBs even recommended 1200W PSUs for certain builds: https://www.tomshardware.com/news...s-rtx-4090

Either way, my point was that, if one expected to need a 1000W PSU in the near future, why not have that covered now instead of having to dish out another $100+ later for a PSU upgrade again. PSUs have pretty long life cycles compared to other parts, and this unit comes with a 10-year warranty.
