Would you need a 1000W power supply unit to run your PC? Probably not, even if you have the best CPU for gaming combined with the best graphics card money can buy. But "want" and "need" are two different things, and if you want a disposable, high wattage PSU, now is the best time to buy.

Newegg has Super Flower's Leadex Platinum Special Edition 1000W PSU for $199.99, down from $249.99. There is also a $10 off coupon code (93XRK82) that can be applied at checkout, bringing the price down to $189.99. This is about what we would expect for a high-quality PSU in this wattage range.

Super Flower is one of the higher-end brands in the PSU space, and in my experience, generic labels tend to be lower quality and less reliable. I stopped using cheap PSUs a long time ago when one of my Molex connectors started smoking. Fortunately, I didn't lose any hardware (other than scrapping the PSU), but I learned my lesson.

This PSU is fully modular, which is great for cable management. The included cable is also a flat ribbon type.

It is also an 80 Plus Platinum unit. This is the second highest 80 Plus efficiency rating after 80 Plus Titanium, which basically means that very little energy is wasted as heat.

The icing on the cake is the 10-year warranty. This PSU is likely to last long enough to be built into any PC, and if not, Super Flower guarantees it.
