No professional reviews, Sirtec platform, I would avoid it.

On second thought though, a 1000w PSU is enough only if you don't plan to overclock 3 290s. If you do, you will want a 1200w PSU at minimum.
 
I'd choose EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G. Superb PSU. Contrasted quality.

1. corsair rm 1000x- corsair is upper range psu manufacturer...usually very good units, as this one
2.evga seems to be okay, though don,t know a lot about them..reviews give them thumbs up
3. the rosewill quarks .......
would not buy none of the rest

power supply units are #1 on my list of quality parts when i put a rig togther...all my computers have some of the best u can buy...i don,t mess around here, nothing worse than a lousy psu unit...

my future purchases will be seasonic..they are expensive,,but some of the best....there are others out there that are very good too..got to do reviews

As Tsumi stated, that unit has no professional reviews. As such, the overall quality of that PSU is unknown.

And not all of Thermaltake's higher-wattage PSUs are made by CWT: That particular unit is actually made by Sirfa (HighPower). HEC, Enhance (the manufacturer of the other Thermaltake PSU on your list) and Yuelin are also manufacturing higher-wattage PSUs that are sold under the Thermaltake brand name.
