White 1000W PSU Search

[Exentrick]

Good morning! I need to upgrade my power supply, and because I'm vain, it needs to be white. I've only ever bought Seasonic power supplies and would strongly prefer to buy one from them. The Vertex GX-1000 seems perfect, but I simply cannot find it anywhere for sale in the US.

 

So, two questions:

A) If someone could find an online store where its available in the US, that would be amazing - I've searched on Newegg, Amazon, B&H, Microcenter, and one or two others. 

B) If this is just vaporware, what other fully modular, white PSU would you recommend in the 1000 - 1200 watt range?

 

Thank you,

I went on PCPartPicker's price history and saw no records for the Vertex GX 1000 or 1200, so this may just not be an item that was ever sold in the US.

 

Consider these

It’s from 3 years ago, the white version probably just didn’t sell well and usually those secondary product variants get cut pretty quick. Most people were probably buying the normal black variant. It’s not uncommon for that to happen to any pc product with different color variants these days.

 

I would recommend basically anything superflower offers in the same spec, they’ve got a bunch of 80+ gold, 1000w+ white psus. 
I would get a leadex 7 XG https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-vii-xg-1000w-1000-w/p/1HU-024C-00059?

My case won't allow for the connectors on the side, unfortunately. I had forgotten that was even a possibility. Regarding the Seasonic you linked - I don't think that one is ATX 3.0. I feel like if I'm buying a power supply with a 10 - 12 year warranty period, I should probably future proof with the newest standard, but I don't know what I don't know about ATX 3.0. Is it worth it to go ATX 3.0?

I didn't realize it was that old of a design! I know Super Flower has been around for a long time and they do OEM work in addition to their own products, but I've never read enough reviews of their products to really trust them. I guess I'll have to do a little reading.
