Well it was the mobo manufacturer's documentation and calculator that gave me the 950-1000W range. Nothing I found at a PSU manufacturer returned anything that high, most of the products Corsair recommended were in the 750-850W range and that was with me "rounding" up a little bit on components just in case. You'd think they'd be the people trying to upsell you on the part.
Weird, unless it's a "cover our butts" thing on behalf of Asus.
