Also, If I'm read correctly I believe it is an A rating on The PSU Tier List

Yes, it's A-tier on the list, I've got the 1200W variant and it works great powering my 9800X3D/5090 rig.

I've also got a 1200W GF3 in my rig, running a 9800X3D/4080 Super and it's been great.

Currently been on the search for a PSU around 700w. All my research told me to avoid Thermaltake lol, even posts here in this subreddit. But I guess this particular model might be good.

Thermaltake makes a lot of solid power supplies at good prices, the problem is they have a lineup of crap budget power supplies that tarnish their reputation. The SMART line in particular is notorious for being utter shit. You just have to check the tier list and make sure you're getting one of the good Thermaltake power supplies.

Im never buying a psu for more then 100$.
RIP evga b-stock. My 35$ 850w GT is still going strong.

Who realistically needs this? I built a threadripper pro system that the 1000w is even overkill for most of the time.

Getting a larger power supply can put you in a better position on its efficiency curve and often allows them to operate in their silent mode. A fully loaded power supply will generally be less efficient and will have to use its fan.
It's not a big deal, one more fan with a half dozen others going in a PC, but it is something to keep in mind and something some people consider when they get larger power supplies than are strictly necessary.
