which PSU would you choose for this scenario?

[PontiacGTX]

I would like to know which would be the best choice if I wante dot run either 3 R9 290 or maybe 4 GPUs with lower power

Lepa Maxplatinum 1050w 102usd
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G1 130usd
Corsair RM1000x 140USD
EVGA Supernova 1000GQ 140USD
Rosewill Quark 1000 150usd
Rosewill Quark 1200 170usd
Rosewill Capstone G1200 168usd
Thermaltake SP-1200M 150usd
Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W (PS-TPD-1200MPCGUS-1) 170usd

Out of those, RM1000x is the best. jonnyGuru review, 10/10

EVGA 1000 G3 is another nice choice: jonnyGuru review, 9.8/10.

R9 290 reference model uses almost 250W, and third party cards can use almost 300W (techpowerup). If you're going to be running these at full blast, you're cutting pretty close to 1000 watts with everything else (CPU, motherboard etc) included. I'd like a bit more safety margin: EVGA 1300 G2, jonnyGuru review 9.7/10

well the G3 1300w is almost 60usd more the onyl ones i could buy would be either of the 1200w on the list

@PontiacGTX I would rather have EVGA 1000W G3 or Corsair RM1000x than any Thermaltake PSU, even if it meant running close to max capacity. But you can always try to optimize your power consumption by undervolting the graphics cards.

Add Seasonic Prime Titanium 1000W to consideration list?

@PianoMan His budget seems (seemed? it's been almost 2 weeks..) to be about $170. Seasonic Prime Titanium is much more expensive... and availability seems to be poor.

Oops - mebbe I should have noticed the prices he listed to the right of the PSUs...

Agree with the EVGA and Corsair choices...
