I am currently looking for a decent 1000w. Its going to be running two r9 290 vapor-x's in crossfire, along with a 5ghz 8350 with a water cooler h100i(Yes it is stable for me ;D).
I have eyes on the RM1000, But as I have heard about the RM series being very... Questionable. Is it a decent power supply? Or should I go for something else?

I was just doing a bit of light teasing
Few weeks ago I recommended a superior 750 watt EVGA B2 model ($50) over a much more expensive and inferior Corsair and he said he was sticking w/ the Corsair cause he could get the special color cables.....He was glad when I pointed out these .... but it did put a smile on my face seeing a $50 PSU paired with a $90 set of cables
.
I completed my build 11 months ago, have $200 worth of wire and sleeving but still haven't sleeved the cables yet

Never noticed the two colors...that's a downer for me.... would prefer same.

1. $170 Seasonic X Series (gets 30.0 rating - 10.0 Performance, 10.0 Functionality and 10.0 Build Quality rating)

2. $175 (-$15 MIR) EVGA G2 (gets 28.5 rating - 10.0 Performance, 9.0 Functionality and 9.5 Build Quality rating)

Seasonic used to be $100 more but now very reasonable ... EVGA is in same price range
Notes.... I don't count value rating as prices change over time and are when prices change these ratings are irrelevant .... no review fo the 1050 model so used 1250
