PC P&C are just like other power supply brands... they contract manufacturing out to one of the companies who actually manufacture the supplies and then box and sell. They were one of the first who did this catering to the high end, 20 years ago, this was special, but now they're just another brand. No reason to limit yourself to just one (usually overpriced) brand when there are many quality brands now.
This review is on the older side, but shows a PCB built by Seasonic: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?nam...y4&reid=63
There is definitely nothing wrong with the design, or being manufactured by Seasonic, but the point is that they aren't as unique and special as they once were. There are at least half a dozen brands making PSUs of equal quality, many are reviewed on that site, which goes into pretty significant detail on PSU reviews, as that's their claim to fame.
And 910W is WAY overboard for any single CPU / single GPU system. He'll probably be drawing 250W or so playing a game, maybe less.
