As per title. Looking for a solid 1000 WATT performer hopefully no more than £200~ Any solid recs? It'll be pushing a 9900KF and RX 7900 XTX alongside 4 SSDs. Needs to be reliable as had a Corsair blow on me when running close to it's max. If anyone in the know has more experience and reckons 800 WATT is plenty for those parts then that's also fine. Just want room to breathe with the system.
Need a decent 1000W PSU?

I used to suggest MSI's A1000G (non PCI-E) for XTX builds (review), because it had enough ports for 3x PCI-E 8 pin (separate cables) and 2x EPS 12v, but seems to be EOL.
With the GF3 you need the 1350 version (review), but the PF3 only needs 1050.
I believe the Vertex has enough, even in the 850 capacity.
Rog Strix (original version) has enough in 850 and up, but it isn't ATX 3.0 (review).
You could just take a PSU with 2 and daisy chain one of them.

Either of these then? 
Is it the Platinum rating that lets you get away with 1050 over the 1350's Gold?

Yep. They last forever when they stay cooler and well within rated limits.
It only took itself out, thankfully, at the time!
Well, that's a big reason to buy a good quality PSU rather than a brown box special from eBay..if it does break, it commits suicide and it's the only thing that breaks.
They have a ten year warranty for the decent models, can you not at least get them to ship you a new PSU, or were you actually overloading it?
Rules for buying a PSU:
- Calculate the maximum theoretical power draw of your system and add 100w
- Don't get obsessed with platinum or titanium ratings, you're paying a premium for a very marginal efficiency gain, gold rated is probably the best price to efficiency compromise
- Buy a good quality PSU with a 10 year warranty such as corsair or seasonic, the warranty speaks for itself, but also see rule #1

Just Google psu tier list and pick one of the top tier psus. I have the rm1200x shift.

Any reason to avoid the Be Quiet Pure Power 12 M psu's? ATX 3 and 10 year warranty. 1000W version can be had for £150. Why so much cheaper other ATX 3 PSUs?
I'm just guessing because it's dual/multi-rail rather than single rail, and it doesn't say how many amps any of the 12v rails can cope with/ how it's distributed individualy, for example, no one needs 30 amps capacity on teh 5v.
The tech spec is a little ambiguous.

I admit PSU's aren't my strong point but isn't that saying that of the 2 rails, one is 46 and the other 42amps?
I'm not sure about all their features, I think this is one reason:
