i think £240 for a ATX3.1 850w gold psu is a lot
corsair and MSI are around £90 to £150 for a PSU with the same sort of spec's
I mean antec's new line of cases is the most part a copy of other popular cases at a premium..

Corsair seemingly don't even have a 850+ Platinum ATX3.1 model, neither do MSI - at least on OCUK anyway.

Vertex PX 1200watt is tempting me, even though I don't really need a new PSU.
be nice to get rid of 3 pcie cables though

The Antec HCG 1200 Pro is the same PSU but cheaper
Here is a review by Kitguru of the 1000w model confirming its a great unit based on the Vertex PX. https://www.kitguru.net/components/...ntec-hcg1000-pro-platinum-1000w-psu-review/4/

Yea I saw that, Seasonic has UK RMA though, does antec? also whenever I think antec this is the image I get.The Antec HCG 1200 Pro is the same PSU but cheaper
With seasonic I guess the extra price is just paying for the extra 2 years of warranty, not that 10 vs 12 really matters.

Warranty is done via the Netherlands, not UK. But you can do it via the reseller you bought from for the full length of the warranty, at least for 6 years, all retailers have a legal obligation to help for 6 years.Yea I saw that, Seasonic has UK RMA though, does antec? also whenever I think antec this is the image I get.

NZXT C1500 Platinum PSU Review - KitGuru
Today we take a look at a new high end power supply from NZXT, the C1500, which is rated to deliverwww.kitguru.net
I got this on a Black Friday rain forest deal for £229.99 to go in my new 9800x3d build.
I purchased this last week for my AM5/9800X3D rebuild. I am very happy with it. It’s an excellent quality unit. I don’t need this power, however I wanted a PSU that would last me into the future and be able to accommodate future generations of GPU. I was specifically looking for ATX 3.1 and a PSU with 2x 12v-2x6 headers just in case an extra one would ever be needed for supplemental power in the future.

My plan was to go for 1200w which would have been ample overhead for the future for a high end gaming PC. I currently have a stock 4090 (450w TDP). According to online calculators, my system would pull 727w at full load, which I don’t realistically see happening in gaming anyway. I plan on upgrading to a 5090 next year, so that would up the max theoretical power draw to 877w, assuming a TDP of 600w. I’ve been running my 4090 on a Seasonic 850w for the last couple of years with no issue. A 1000w PSU should be ample for a 5090, so 1200w would definitely have been plenty of overhead for the future, and that was my initial plan.
Anyhow, my main reasoning for going for this unit was that I really wanted 2x 12v-2x6 headers, just in case a future GPU would be designed to take an extra connector for supplemental power. I also wanted to install the PSU now as I was doing a full rebuild, and ATX 3.1 options are still somewhat limited, especially those with the extra 12v-2x6 header (which may never be required anyway!). So while this unit is certainly more powerful than I require, it’s manufactured by CWT and uses excellent quality components, and it’s had excellent technical reviews in terms of its construction and performance. I am hoping this PSU will be good for quite a few years and future generations of GPU.
I would also be very surprised if a future GPU would use more than 675w (inc. PCIe slot power).

For me it’s not a case of need. More want. I wanted something future ready and it was a good deal. Reviews revealed it to be a very capable, solid unit. No brainier really.
Same for me. I got the nzxt c1500. I've kept it sealed and have it until 31 January to return if the 5090 doesn't need the two 12v-2x6 headers.
if thats any actual thing its madness.
I do understand stuff like this, but buy the time a general user needs 1500w the PSU would be at an age it would need replacing anyway.
lets say it as a 10 years warranty so we can assume it will last 10 years, i would hope by the time its needed say 5 years there would be better PSU's at better prices.
im the guy when i get a new PC ill sell my old one... so i personally wouldn't buy a PSU for the future

To each their own. I learnt a long time ago not to sell anything. I just repurpose.
yer 100% but how many pc's dose one guy need hahah
