No 1000w PSU's available to select when configuring an AMD based system with a 3090 Ti

As the title suggests,
I've been trying to configure a high end AMD based PC on your website for a quote.
I've selected the largest PSU but of course get the 'Compatibility Issue' window up asking me to select a PSU of a 1000W to support the 3090 Ti GPU
Thanks

What does the message say? That you've selected a higher wattage than you need? You can ignore that, PCS always underestimate the wattage needed.
 
Thanks for replying.

The message says that the PSU I selected (I chose the most powerful one) Is not powerful enough and I need a PSU of at least 1000W. They don't have a strong enough PSU in their list.

Which configurator are you using?

I could happily spec up a machine with a 3090Ti and 1000W PSU (or 1200W) on at least a few of the configurators - once I'd picked a big enough case for it :)

Which configurator?

The one on the main site, I wanted to buy a PC from PC Specialist. Is there more than one configurator?
There are 8 or 9 configurators depending on what kind of PC and what platform.

So this would be the current gen top spec AMD desktop configurator:

 
Thanks Spider
Anyways, I was hoping to find a way to buy a high end AMD PC with my choice of components here. I have bought two others from PC Specialist over the years and have been happy with both machines. I do see there are other companies that include a 1000w PSU in their configerators, I think it's time I consider somewhere else

The link that Spyder added has the 1000W,1200W and 1600W PSU's in it

There are only the home/office AMD configurator and the small form factor AMD configurator that I saw that didn't have those choices - was it one of those two places you were looking at?
All the other AMD configurators have the 1000W+ choices (all of the AMD configurators can be found here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/amd-computers/)


If you need help sorting out your config please lets us know, I'm sure there are a few that can help get a spec sorted for you.

Think you're misunderstanding, the PSUs go up to 1600w at the high end desktop ranges, the only configurator without large PSUs is the office one but those are very low spec options, or there's the mini pc's but I'm guessing you're not on that.

Not sure why you’re not seeing what everyone else is:
