Hey, so I am looking for new PSU, but I can't really decide. I live in Czech Republic and all pc parts are very expensive here, cuz of high tax - so I am looking for your advice, to tell if a psu its worth for its price.

I have single GTX 970 but I plan 2-SLI at some point, so I've decided to go with 850W (or higher, check down below).
My picks:

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 - 170$
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 - also 170$

I was searching for more alternatives, but I couldnt really find any. I read a lot of review and stuff and I just fell in love with EVGA 850 G2. The thing is, it is like REALLY expensive here, so is it worth 170$ price tag? And what about 1000 G2, would it be better to grab that one? I mean, it's same price but I don't really know. I really want a quiet PSU, so I am wondering if the 1000 would do more noisy it would not be good. And also if it isn't overkill, like pointlesly paying for more electricity.

If you could recommend me any other PSU or give me any advice, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

As I wrote, I live in Czech Republic. Well, at least food here is cheap :)
EVGA SuperNOVA 850W B2 price starts here from 148$ (All those are conversions - Czech Crowns to US dollars).

Yeah, I know 850 is plenty of power, but since same versions of 850w and 1000w of EVGA G2s are same price here, I really can't decide with what psu to go.
