was originally going to get the corsair rm1000x psu but considering getting the rm850x instead to save a little money and because the rm1000x is out of stock but the motherboard i intend to get (MSI B850 EDGE TI) uses 2 8 pin power connectors and 1 8 pin pcie power connector for additional power,the rm1000x had connectors for the 2 power connectors and 4x pcie so enough for a 3x8 pin gpu and 1 x8 pin for the motherboard pcie but the rm850x only has 3 pcie connections, is it worth waiting for the rm1000x to come back in stock or will the rm850x be ok.
 
it i get the corsair 850w i can populate the 2 cpu connectors but if i get a gpu that needs 3 pcie's then i cant put one in the motherboard additional pcie slot, but if i get the corsair 1000w i can.
 
although i just noticed the 9070 xt powercolor red devil says "Minimum System Power requirement 900 w", so it sounds like i should go for the 1000w just in case.
