Probably better off getting a good 750 watt or so from a good brand , Antec Corsair or Seasonic , why take a chance . Besides do yo really need 1000watts ? Have not seen many systems that draw that kind of power , besides servers with multy cpu's


I'd be very careful. Topower (except for one 900w & 1000w unit is tier 5)
From Eggxpert power supply ranking:

Tier 5 - Other than the units listed above for any of these brands, NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.

You might be OK tho, that might be the Topower on tier 3 list.

Tier 3 Brands - Power supplies fully able to meet ATX specs, although closer to the edges of the limits than higher tier units. Still solid units.

I think the one you linked is prob the tier 3 so your good to go

I will probably get a 750 bronze, I saw a pretty good deal on a Corsair. It was just that this one was 80 plus gold and cheaper than a bronze, but you're right, I shouldn't take a chance.
