Now that the AMD Omega driver is out I wanted to crossfire my Saphire R9 270x Dual-x GPU.

I will need to upgrade my psu and not sure which one to go for. The HX850i is platinum while the RM is gold. Also, for an extra £20 I could just get the HX1000i and not have to worry about not having enough watts for a while!

I'm thinking this is a no brainer and that I should go for the HX1000I, thoughts?

Definitely the HX850I. Look at all the cons for the RM1000, http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/RM1000/11.html

The PSU couldn't deliver its full power at or above 44°C-45°C ambient (OTP triggered) over prolonged periods
Ripple suppression at +12V and 3.3V rails was bad
Less than 16 ms hold-up time
Short distance between peripheral connectors
The fan should spin during start-up to make sure it is working properly
