CWT isn't junk but I avoid PSUs using them personally - the vast majority of times over many years where I've had issues with PSUs to deal with it has been CWT based units, or back in the day Q-Tec... probably some stuff I've forgotten but CWT has been notable enough in terms of problems.
Who's got the oldest PSU?

Still using the Seasonic PSUs I got from this forum. There isn't much need to upgrade unless something goes wrong (which luckily I've not had so far), and I wouldn't get one now if I can avoid it as there's still not enough stability with the features (like the 12VHPWR cable) even though that's now part of a spec.
hardocp (RIP) back in the day tested a decade old X750 and found it was still well within spec, solid units they are
depending on which EVGA unit i probably wouldn't bother, unless you are specifically upgrading the PSU due to more power-hungry parts
the RM-e series use cheap(er) components
The RM850x is the better PSU if you can stretch to that.
