so if somebody told me they bought an EVGA power supply my only answer would have to be "Hmm, really? What MODEL did you get?"

Ok... I bought an EVGA power supply... like I did with the previous two builds.

What model? EVGA G1+ 1000W

What review? G1+ review

This was in early December and availability played a big part too... this was one of the few that I actually found in stock ($199.99) and of course they are now sold out.

No it wasn't. It was an excellent power supply when it was new. Unfortunately, that was too long ago for it to be very reliable or trustworthy anymore.

If it was MY hardware, there is no way, at all, I'd even consider running a power supply that old in any system with hardware I really cared about, much less hardware running into the thousands of dollars. It's a good way to create a bad day scenario.

But if that unit was new, even given the age of the platform it uses, I'd have little worry using it.

I knew there were some 1600W that were mediocre and sub par, but then again it's been years since those kinds of PSUs were neeeded. And yeah like I said even the best PSUs wear out over time. Last year I had to replace a 7 year old Seasonic with a Corsair RMx and my system was fine after that.

Well, since that is the only review, I don't have much choice but to go with it although I'm not a huge fan of the reviews at PC perspective because I think they tend to lean a bit towards making every product look great unless it has glaring faults that are impossible to ignore.

The specs for that unit look pretty decent though and the build quality seems good. FSP is the OEM and we know that they CAN make some very good units, but they don't always. There are some real crap units out there made by FSP, just like a lot of OEMs.

Without any contrary evidence though, I can't say anything against it really. Anyhow, we should get back on topic of helping the OP.
