You’ll want to remove the link due to rules, but no, it’s terrible. Avoid.

Why do you need a 1000w psu ?

List your system spec and budget.

I don't particularly, but hoping to upgrade my GPU when the new stuff comes out and worried my 600W wont cope. Was just browsing Amazon when I came across it. Its rare to find any high power psu in stock these days that don't cost the earth.

current spec is

Ryzen 9 3900X
RX5700 XT
32Mb DDR4 3600 Memory
Kolink 600W psu
Coolermaster H500M case

It does not cost the earth for a reason
Do yourself a favour don't risk your
Expensive components on a cheap psu
Anything less than 7 year warranty on
A psu nowadays would be a no for me

Only garbage brand would mark PSU with ~910W in 12V as 1050W PSU.
And when one spec is clear scam it's hard to have any trust to anything else.
Also pretty sure only cheap/garbage factories make 80+ Silvers.
Respectable makers discontinued those like half dozen years ago.
