Evaluating PSU upgrade options...

It performs fine, has in depth reviews, and it's quiet. Worst case scenario, if it causes shutdowns, you can return it to the store. The Kolink Continuums. and the Zalman Acrux seem to perform okay, but they lack in depth reviews, they are loud, and they lack multi rail OCP, which you definitely want on higher wattage PSUs. But they should work.
Is there any reason for not buying from an online retailer?
Mainly dealing with warranties, specially considering it's a PSU and can damage other components if malfunction.
Edit: it was actually an EVGA GQ 1000, putting it at tier B. I went with that one. Many from his website were actually out of stock. He said high wattage PSU's have been selling like crazy and getting difficult to restock. He blames mining and Covid.
