Hi I am in the market looking for a new 1000W PSU. I was thinking of getting RM1000W until I saw this:

According to the thread, corsair RM series isn't good enough, even my currently 5 year old TX750W is rated better, although the RM 1000W model isn't listed anywhere but RM 750 / 850w models are listed as Tier 3 quality.
So should I buy this PSU? Another choice would be Corsair Professional Series HX1050 which is bit over my budget but I can still manage it, out of those two which one is better? RM is 80+ Gold certified while HX1050 is 80 plus silver.
Also I live in a country where I have to take what I can find at retail stores, amazon/newegg don't deliver here as most of other retail stores so ordering online IS NOT AN OPTION.
