@HKZeroFive Really? All of that, and a $35 PSU? Shame on you.

Hey, I had to make it fit within the budget somewhere.

 

But, it's a DC-DC regulated unit with an LLC topology and good protections. It's actually quite good.

1500 dollars and a 1080Ti that's pretty good.  I'm sure this guy can spend more on a more reliable PSU though maybe.

There are times when a little stretching is in order. I'd say this is one of them

If someone can afford $1,500 for a PC they can afford an extra $40 (you can spend an extra $57 with the same logic). If they can't, then they should be reconsidering their budget.

The BitFenix Whisper M or the Corsair RM550x.
